Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Plays like This Is Spinal Tap made from anti-matter. Both films are about aging rockers, but Year of the Horse removes the humor and energy.
This is quite possibly the worst documentary I have ever had the displeasure of watching on the big screen.
Both a quirky little movie and a monument to one of rock 'n' roll's greatest noisemakers.
If you've ever liked the 52-year-old Young's songs, you'll probably be hooked early on.
