Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It feels thorough, and very affectionate. It just needs more of a narrative hook, a through-line from start to finish that can enhance the story for those not yet in the club.

fresh:
All the making-of footage and scenes offering a taste of Memphis in the '70s will probably thrill established Big Star lovers in a big way.

rotten:
"Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me" is no doubt going to please fans of the cult rock band, but the rest of us may feel like outsiders - not put off by the proceedings, really, but somewhat mystified as to what all the fuss is about.

[Documents] the band's coming together and falling apart and [offers] a passionate tribute to its brilliant, beautiful music.

[A] thoroughly detailed (though a bit long) doc that charts the band's thwarted expectations.
