Movie Reviews

Superb docu about a counter-culture hero
Jake Draper | New York, New York | 12/11/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is just superb! One and a half hours of brilliant film making about a modern day hero. Sinclair was a scapegoat for the Nixon administration but proved that if enough folk rise up against the powers that be, things can change - includes great footage from both then and now, some truly brilliant muisc [MC5, John and Yoko, Sinclair's own Jazz ensemble etc.] dynamic interviews and a wholly professional edit, this must rank as one of the year's finest documentary films. Highly recommended."
