Scott Walker: 30 Century Man Reviews
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Scott Walker: 30 Century Man (which takes its title from a Walker-penned song) makes a fascinating case that in the years that followed, Walker became the music equivalent of a 'poet's poet.'
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Scott Walker: 30 Century Man glosses over the depression and alcoholism that have bedeviled Walker as well as any relationships he might have had. But that doesn't make the film any less interesting.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
Scott Walker: 30 Century Man chronicles the career of musician Scott Walker, an enigmatic figure whose influence far outreaches his relative obscurity.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Scott Walker: 30 Century Man is the latest in a mini-wave of pop-music docs, like The Devil and Daniel Johnston, that try to inflate cult figures into lost geniuses.
San Francisco Chronicle
Joel Selvin
Director Stephen Kijak not only got a composed, almost warm interview out of Walker, but he filmed some of the sessions for Walker's latest adventuresome recording project.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Scott Walker: 30 Century Man, is the story of and oracular singer, experimental composer, British-based American expatriate and reclusive cult figure.
Tiny Mix Tapes
Judy Berman
"Ultimately, your work is your world," Walker says toward the end of the documentary. 30th Century Man succeeds, then, because it inhabits the world of its subject.
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
For Walker fans, I imagine 30 Century Man will come as a bit of a vindication, having the knowledge that they knew this world before it had been fully documented and made ready for public consumption
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Those unfamiliar with [Scott Walker] or, especially, those who don't like his music, will be only moderately engaged and ultimately underwhelmed.
Boxoffice Magazine
Steve Simels
Director Stephen Kijak's profile of reclusive pop icon Scott Walker is one of the most remarkable music documentaries in ages.
Village Voice
Jim Ridley
The doc's biggest revelation may be the extent of his stardom, even as he began to explore bawdy Jacques Brel chansons and psychedelic dada crooning.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Like the best music documentaries, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man blends grace and mystery. It should delight longtime Walker fans and introduce him to new ones.
Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
There might be genuine Walker fans who wish to see their forgotten hero given his due, but those who have not acquired that strange taste will find the film hard to take unless it is viewed as a dead-on parody.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
Longtime fans of Walker's warm, sepulchral baritone, startlingly evocative songwriting and lushly imaginative instrumentation will rejoice at this revealing docu.
Decider
Benjamin H. Smith
Despite the unpredictability of its subject matter, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man is a fairly standard profile... a good thing, as Walker's enigmatic aura and experimental musical forays benefit from framing inside a linear narrative structure.
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
Scott Walker: 30 Century Man gestures toward Walker's own process, as he has been and continues to think through the possibilities of sound.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
By actually playing the music and allowing this commentary, Kijak hits upon a kind of astute music criticism, and an argument for music as challenging as this.
Film Journal International
David Noh
One of the best music documentaries ever made, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man will have you yearning to learn more and fully immerse yourself in its subject.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Breathlessly details the step-by-step evolution of an enigmatic musical artist within pop culture from the 1960s on to the avant-garde, though little about the man.
Film Threat
Merle Bertrand
Considering the abstract nature of its subject, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man is a surprisingly straightforward look at a man who's been at the cutting edge of music's avant garde for decades.
