All Things Must Pass Reviews
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
It's loving and lovely, but goes too easy on the hubris and greed.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
As Bruce Springsteen says in the film, "Everybody in a record store is a little bit of your friend for 20 minutes or so." And he's right - including all the ups and downs that friendship entails.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Lively and loving ...
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
The real beating heart of the film is its collection of wild war tales told by the company's former employees, who regarded Tower as more than just a paycheck gig or a commercial proposition.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Any movie that begins and ends with the sound of a phonograph needle hitting vinyl knows the audience sweet spot it's aiming for, and for those folks, "All Things Must Pass" is a rousing success.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Colin Hanks makes his feature directing debut with this irresistible documentary about the evolution of the music business.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Overall, this is an assured effort: informative, bittersweet and appealing for both the young and the not so young.
indieWire
Kevin Jagernauth
While the yellow and red sign may be gone, perhaps the lasting legacy of Tower is that in their customers they bred a generation of curious and enthusiastic listeners who continue to follow the music, no matter where it comes from next.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
If the homilies eventually feel a bit repetitive, the warmth and goodwill generated by the landmark company are conveyed by this earnest and affectionate documentary.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Solomon's skills as a raconteur, the employees' unabashed love for their work, and the constant stream of rock music playing in the background advance the film into something much more than a talking-heads documentary.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
But Hanks wisely limits the celebrity talking heads in this rise-and-fall story. Instead, he focuses on the people who built the company from a Sacramento drugstore annex to a global brand, creating a ragtag family in the process.
New York Times
Andy Webster
This movie makes you appreciate anew the one-on-one social dimension lost in the music industry's headlong switch to digital downloads.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
The director's native warmth and sympathy are extended here to the store and the personalities that made it a billion-dollar, globe-bestriding colossus.
Newsweek
Zach Schonfeld
All Things Must Pass is disarmingly intimate for a film about a massive retail chain.
Austin Chronicle
Doug Freeman
The accomplishment of first-time director Colin Hanks... lies in his ability to distill the personal from the tale of Tower Records, especially in capturing the charisma and vision of founder Russ Solomon.
Variety
Joe Leydon
A sentimental yet sharply observed documentary about the rise and demise of retail giant Tower Records.
PopMatters
Chris Barsanti
In Colin Hanks' admiring and tragic corporate biography, Tower Records wasn't just a rock 'n' roll mecca, but a family operation that got high on its own supply.
Madison Movie
Rob Thomas
This is Tower's story, and Hanks tells in a way that will resonate with both grizzled music veterans who have hung onto their physical collections, and millennials wondering what all the fuss was about.
Charlotte Observer
Lawrence Toppman
Hanks makes the rookie mistake of covering the same points too thoroughly - the film could be 10 to 15 minutes shorter - but you can see why he lets entertaining interviewees ramble a bit.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
Hanks and Leckart tap into a latent nostalgia for Tower's free-and-easy heyday, and the movie is an intensely bittersweet experience for anyone who grew up with Tower Records as a home away from home.
