Crossfire Hurricane | Ratings & Reviews

"The Rolling Stones weren’t always in the public favour, as this raw and entertaining biopic reminds us. Before they were a global institution, they were cocky teens who played blues covers. Then they became idols whose music and swagger tapped into the youthful dissatisfaction of the 60s..."

FlicksFlicks

"Hardcore music buffs, however, may feel left wanting more, especially since single-album docus like Spike Lee's recent 'Bad 25' and Blighty's 'Classic Albums' series have offered much richer, musicological explorations of the art of noise."

VarietyVariety

"The funny thing about the Stones’ story is that it includes about twenty years of turbulence and brilliance, then another thirty of stability, belovedness and (relative) creative dormancy."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"Just like one of those Stones albums of the last three decades: it's fun, it has terrific moments, but in the end it pales in comparison with earlier triumphs."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"'Crossfire' is a different way of making a documentary — only voices in the present and only video in the past. But who said the Stones ever played by the rules?"

New York PostNew York Post

"The Stones have been better showcased and explained than they are in 'Crossfire Hurricane'. Still, as personalities and musicians, they never fail to provide a good measure of satisfaction."

New York Daily NewsNew York Daily News

"Viewers without much prior knowledge of the band may well be intrigued; fans with too much knowledge may whine a little over what was left out, but should be pleased by what has made it in, and what they haven't seen or heard."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Business as usual from the Stones, and good fun on its own terms. However, anyone expecting buried treasure or fresh insights into ancient rock folklore will get no satisfaction here."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Nothing terribly new, but great fun, all the same. Morgan has assembled a hugely enjoyable, tightly edited journey through the Stones' creative heyday."
