Springsteen’s first studio album in five years, Western Stars marks a departure for the legendary singer/songwriter while still drawing on his roots. Touching on themes of love and loss, loneliness and family and the inexorable passage of time, the documentary film evokes the American West—both the mythic and the hardscrabble—weaving archival footage and Springsteen’s personal narration with song to tell the story of Western Stars.

Douglas Greenwood

Bruce Springsteen's filmic love letter to his latest album is sweet and spellbinding, if a little contrived at times.

FULL REVIEW

Richard Crouse

Western Stars is an intimate performance with great music, lyrical soul-searching and a restless spirit that suggests Springsteen is mining his baggage to create vital, beautiful new art.

It's a rockin' great time in Bruce's barn, one that leaves you feeling just that little more inspired and contented than when you first entered the cinema, proving to be as smooth and warming as a shot of mighty fine Tequila.

In Western Stars, [Bruce] continues to explore his self-destructive impulses and the emotions they inspire.

Western Stars is deeply invested in The Myth of Bruce Springsteen, as though he's invited the audience into his barn, but not into his heart.
