- Critics' reviews
-
-
"At 208 minutes, Scorsese has accomplished the best documentary that is probably possible"
-
"In contrast to Scorsese's other work, like his Bob Dylan documentary and 'The Last Waltz,' George Harrison feels like it doesn't get far below the surface."
-
"Harrison's easily mocked mysticism has rarely seemed as sincere and hard-won as it does in Scorsese's respectful, 3 ½-hour profile."
-
"[It] finds plenty to say, though, particularly in the final two hours, when Olivia Harrison's honesty contributes mightily to Scorsese's portrait of an artist more interesting than some of us may have realized.
