Despite the shagginess, Scorsese mostly stays focused on Harrison as a reflection of his fans, eternally searching for something elusive - something that only came around occasionally.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A film that sheds a lot of light on its subject but at times can be a little too blissed out for its own good.
It's a seductive and moving scrapbook made with an outward artistry and an inward conventionality.
Perhaps all things must pass, but I would not pass this one up.
By removing the edges that gave the man's life some bite, Martin Scorsese hasn't done George Harrison's legacy any favors.
