Daryl Hannah's latest film focuses on Neil Young's solo tour along the US west coast, showcasing performances filled with his candid charm and nostalgia. However, the film is hampered by its arthouse black-and-white visuals that shift to color during credits, detracting from its potential impact. There is excessive footage of the tour bus and its driver, overshadowing insight into Young's relationship with Hannah and his artistic presence. Despite captivating onstage moments, the film's directorial choices test the audience's engagement, proving a disappointing mix of visual style and narrative depth.
Neil's performances are full of authenticity and openness, inviting the audience into his world; however, the film fails to engage and detracts from this intimacy.
Daryl Hannah's film, while showcasing Neil Young's live performances, struggles with uninspired black-and-white aesthetics and an overabundance of uninteresting tour bus footage.
