Jonathan Demme’s third documentary portrait of Neil Young finds the legendary singer driving from his idyllic hometown in Ontario to downtown Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall, where he performed the last two nights of his solo 2011 world tour. A long-time fan and collaborator, Demme captures Young talking through introspective stories from his youth and masterfully weaves them together with his mesmerising music. Through the tunes and the tales, this insightful portrayal is a personal, retrospective look into the heart and soul of the artist with Young’s on stage performance presented in full, along with passages from the wistful ride into town. A must see for music documentary fans.
