- [New – 2/25/16] | Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: il documentario montato da Stevan Riley è un piccolo capolavoro, per molti versi illuminante.
- Josh Brunsting @ The CriterionCast
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Like Kapadia’s “Amy,” “Listen To Me Marlon” restores the subject’s actual persona from the dinged and dented media creation in his own words.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: The film is a portrait of an artist as a man throughout the course of his life.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Kenji Fujishima @ Slant Magazine
- John Gilpatrick @ JohnLikesMovies.com
- Excerpt: This one-of-a-kind documentary chronicles the life and career of an actor, Marlon Brando, with intense intimacy.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Listen to Me Marlon is a worthwhile journey and the audience will walk out knowing more than they did going in, but at what cost? Objectivity.
- Greg Klymkiw @ The Film Corner
- Excerpt: Listen To Me Marlon is as great a filmed biographical portrait of Brando as we could ever imagine. It moved me to tears.
- Donald Jay Levit @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Jared Mobarak @ Jared Mobarak Reviews
- Excerpt: The fact there was enough material to keep it all about him—save sound bytes of Stella Adler, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Francis Ford Coppola in context and from the era described rather than newly-shot documentary—is uniquely stirring because we aren’t trusting outside sources to understand who Marlon Brando was. This doesn’t mean he himself had a strong handle on his own identity since regrets in fatherhood and in marriage are obvious, but at least it’s as authentic as one can get.
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- Jonathan Ricjards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
- Excerpt: While this documentary is by no means a complete picture, it’s a fascinating self-portrait of the man who was one of our greatest actors, when he felt like it.
- Rob Wallis @ The Metropolist
- Excerpt: Whether Listen To Me Marlon is a demand or a request, it’s one well worth obliging.
