The band is treated reverently, which will no doubt please fans, but its eternal length may test the dedication of even Petty fanatics.

Reviews for Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers: Runnin' Down A...
Peter Bogdanovich’s new documentary about the life and career of Florida-born rocker Tom Petty runs nearly four hours and never fails to engage or entertain.
Although frequently taken for granted, Tom Petty has had more hits than Bruce Springsteen and stands as one of America's finest rock 'n' roll stars. This movie is like ice cream; you just can't get enough.
A feast for Petty fans and a joyous confirmation of the vitality of the collective creative process.
Employs a warm and leisurely, though never sluggish, pace that's upfront about Bogdanovich's intention to take his sweet time tackling every topic of relevant interest.
