Reviews for When You're Strange

Primo footage of recording sessions, concert perfs and various backstage trips is ubiquitous--and sadly squandered--amid wall-to-wall voiceover narration that is punishingly banal when not factually sketchy or flat-out false. Full Review |

 3/5 |
Tom DiCillo proves he has a keen eye for editing. When it comes to narration, however, he falls woefully short. Full Review |

2.5/5 |
Yank the narration straight out of the movie, telling the story in only songs and pictures, and When You're Strange would be a much better film. Full Review |

2/5 |
The mystery of Jim Morrison's early death has at last been solved: he died so he wouldn’t have to watch Tom DiCillo's tedious, reductive and factually erratic version of the story of his life. Full Review |
