Pearl Jam Twenty Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
If Pearl Jam Twenty has its share of hyperbole, it's leavened with humor, self-deprecating commentary, and a deep-pockets budget's worth of great clips.
AV Club
Noel Murray
What makes Pearl Jam Twenty a little better than the average fan-friendly documentary is that Crowe focuses on the more significant parts of the Pearl Jam story.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
By the time "Pearl Jam Twenty" is over we can't help but be impressed by the kind of personal and professional integrity that has kept the band honest and allowed them to endure and prosper.
New York Times
Andy Webster
While the movie may not have the insight of D. A. Pennebaker's "Don't Look Back" or even Phil Joanou's U2 travelogue, "Rattle and Hum," Pearl Jam devotees will not go home musically unnourished.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
If only it was about something other than rockers almost irked they got famous.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
In a better film, Crowe would have played journalist instead of fan boy.
Scene-Stealers.com
Eric Melin
It is a huge missed opportunity on Crowe's part. In his attempt to show the best traits of a band he is obviously very enamored with, he's wound up with a pretty lackluster film.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Any enterprise like this is inherently self-congratulatory, but the film is best considered from Crowe's perspective: that of a fan.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Very few music documentaries in the history of the form have more successfully conveyed the inner workings and outer artistic expression of a band than Cameron Crowe's brilliant Pearl Jam Twenty.
RedEye
Matt Pais
[Crowe] merely wants to capture the personalities, the songs and the shows.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
A loving, gracefully crafted retrospective that shrewdly eschews Behind the Music conventions at most turns.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Crowe has assembled some top-drawer ephemera -- old show posters, home movies, and candid backstage footage -- but he overestimates his audience's patience for present-day talking-head interviews.
Village Voice
Eric Hynes
Perhaps Pearl Jam's arc too closely resembles Crowe's own, and he can't see what's so uniquely poignant about dimmed but enduring stars.
Movies.com
John Gholson
Pearl Jam Twenty may not create new fans, but for existing fans, it's an exceptional musical experience.
ComingSoon.net
Edward Douglas
A great introduction to the band as well as a great recap for the fans who have been there all along the way.
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
A deadly combination of fanboy, friend, and Richie Cunningham, Crowe has zero objectivity about the band
TheDivaReview.com
Diva Velez
With noticeable gaps between the telling of its first decade and its second, Pearl Jam Twenty didn't necessarily need to be a feature, but is a really lovely fan letter to a band that's worked hard for the devotion and respect it receives.
JoBlo's Movie Network
JimmyO
For the biggest fans, it may be the single best movie going experience you will have this year
Oregonian
Joseph Rose
Crowe, a former Rolling Stone reporter, wastes unprecedented access to one of modern rock's most private, compelling and enigmatic acts to create little more than a promotional video for Pearl Jam's non-stop tours.
