What the critics said

Notable Critics

"[Scorsese] comes at the Stones from every imaginable angle. He voodoos the footage into a fluid whole."

— David Edelstein

"Takes full advantage of heavy camera coverage and top-notch sound to create an invigorating musical trip down memory lane, as well as to provoke gentle musings on the wages of aging and the passage of time."

— Todd McCarthy
