At various times poet, consort of beautiful women and Zen monk, his biog's intriguing too, all of which makes this doc highly welcome, even if it's at best a partial view.

It's not a deep documentary. We learn precious little about the real man underneath his sharp-dressed pose.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

I'm Your Man may be as close as we'll ever get to Cohen on film.
Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

I'm Your Man never quite gets its man in a coherent frame, but for all its zigs and zags outside the lines, the portrait of Cohen that emerges is a fascinating one.
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News

An odd but enjoyable concoction of biography, music commentary and concert.
