Movie Reviews
Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- "Jason Vile's moving documentary can't go wrong with such an inspiring, funny and genuinely nice guy taking the spotlight he deserves." - 12/01/2012 Total Film
"[T]he film refuses to get too lachrymose or indulge in self-pity. Becker is a remarkable individual, and the film does him justice." - 12/01/2012 Sight and Sound
"[A] heartfelt documentary...a tribute to the squadron of caregivers that has enabled Mr. Becker not only to survive for an extraordinarily long time but also to continue to compose music, using virtually the only part of him that still moves, his eyes." - 12/14/2012 New York Times
"Becker has laboriously used his eyes to compose intricate music, realized largely by computers. Those musical efforts have helped keep Becker's fan base alive, and scenes of tribute concerts give the film a welcome final uplift." - 12/13/2012 Hollywood Reporter
