    I saw this movie in an extremely socially distanced playhouse/theater. I loved feeling I was in the room and the sweeping, cinematic music.

    Excellent live rendition of the Western Stars album. Our global hero.

    A stunning achievement for the boss and we are the beneficiaries! The atmosphere, the orchestra, the narratives between songs and his performance itself were flawless. A must see even for the casual Bruce fan. Parts of it were so beautiful that they actually brought me to tears

    Beautiful in every possible way. This poet, philosopher, great singer songwriter never stops amazing me. At 70 he exudes the strengh and kindness of a good man who has had his ups and downs. I am 61 in 2012 my then 22 year old daughter and I attended a Sprinsteen concert. He is the best live artist of all time...he created a bonding experience with my daughter that was priceless! Now we will share his film his beautiful poetic masterpiece,

    It's not that this movie is original but it's the underlying spirit of the album that Mr Springsteen put out. I'm nearing middle age and he's nearing the end of the road so we're both thinking about the same stuff. The older we get the more often we look back and wish to harvest, bottle or maintain something from a bygone age but it's so ethereal it slips through our hands. My dad died in 2004 of a massive coronary and was dead before he hit the floor. Naturally, it was a shock for our heroes never die, well at least we can hide within our denial until we can no longer deny the reality. Well my dad loved country & western music - the good old Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Hank Snow etc so when I saw 'Western Stars' the title it stirred a buried memory and I was forced to watch this show put on by Mr. Springsteen and although it's extremely melancholic, it is life and I want to thank the Boss for putting this together.

    Bruce Springsteen found a theatrical, proper form for his new album that sort-of acts like a concert film from its setting when it's actually only a commemorative film for the album just to spiritually project imagery and reflections in between his listings which his fans/frequent listeners will love, as well newcomers tapping their feet and find his crafted storytelling praiseworthy. (B+)

    It’s a really good full length album, music video. No more ... no less. Your enjoyment level will be directly aligned with how much you enjoy Bruce’s new material.

    The album was one of those that I didn't really care for, other than a few songs, when I first heard it. But after about 10 times through, I really started to love it. When I saw this movie everything came together and the movie version is on the top of my playlist. This is unlike anything that has been done before, and it's brilliant.

    We went to this movie without a clue what to expect. AMAZING! Is all we had to say. It's not the type of " movie " you usually sit through. It's more of a bio about his music life and a woman who brought him back from self destruction. We felt as if we were there with them. Beautiful scenery. Go see this.
