A beautifully done record of a very unusual event – and one that inadvertently serves as a testament to John Hartford, making it a very special document of musical history.

Now if you're looking for an in-depth study of the music, look elsewhere. This movie is strictly about the one event [a benefit concert (for the Country Music Hall of Fame 2001)].

Feels glossed over and incomplete.

Top CriticA film that's lovely to hear, though not much to look at.

Has the ease of a casual get-together by musicians who enjoy jamming with each other and who give us the privilege to sit there and listen and watch.

Hardly a groundbreaking concert movie, but it's a creditably agreeable one.

A Polaroid sprung to life.
