Movie Reviews of New York Doll
Movie Review: New York Doll
Summary: 5 Stars
This rollicking, poignant documentary revisits the infamous career of the Dolls, who made a raucous, proto-punk racket in the early '70s, tarted up like male prostitutes. But the focus is squarely on Kane, a soft-spoken, gentle man whose equable presence belies his past as a bad-boy rocker. In interviews with Chrissie Hynde, Sir Bob Geldof, Iggy Pop, and many others influenced by the Dolls' sound, as well as church officials who've grown close to Kane, a portrait emerges of greatness derailed by substance abuse and personal conflict. Most moving is listening to Kane fret over his acrimonious falling out with Johansen, and the suspense involved in their initial meeting. The triumphant 2004 reunion concert is both cathartic and deeply moving.Movie Review: best movie i seen this year
Summary: 5 Stars
i was tryin to see some other movie but it was all sold out and i ended up goin to this movie even if we did'nt no about the new york dolls. man this movie rocked and rolled better than any of the other movies i seen this year even the ones that everybiody saw and said i shoud see. i'm from a small town in oregon and we dont usually get to see anything except the most popular movies but i do'nt no why this was'nt more popular/. this guy Killer Kane had the best life and the worst life and i never seen a movie that made me root for somebody like i was cheering for Killer Kane it was real good and i'm gonna show my friends on dvd.Movie Review: Puttin' our arms around reality
Summary: 5 Stars
In this cynical day and age, it's truly astonishing to see a band rise from the ashes and still sound relevant (not to mention amazing), but how often do you get to see the inside picture offstage?
This film works as a eulogy to Arthur "Killer" Kane, a synopsis of the Dolls' early years, and a buoy for rock 'n' rollers lost at sea. It's all things to all people, but it's never boring or condescending.
I would actually recommend this film to lovers of cinema, whether they had any knowledge of the Dolls or not, simply because it's a great story, well told, and stands up to repeated viewings.
Movie Review: Wow - amazing story
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this movie would be a traditional "rockumentary" about a band - one that I knew little about - but it turned out to be more than just about the band. It's about a man and his life - and a very interesting life at that. Arthur Kane has seen more extreme ups and downs than anyone should ever see. This movie takes you on the ride that is his life...and in the process, you can't help but like this guy.
Not only did I enjoy this movie, it turned me onto the roots of the very music I listen to today. Great movie whether you are a fan of the New York Dolls are not. I wasn't before. I am now.
Movie Review: Beautiful, Moving and emotional
Summary: 5 Stars
i can not say enough about this film. This film is so moving that even someone who has not heard of the dolls would love this. A documentary about killer kane and how his dream is to reunite with his friends and play a show with the dolls. After watching this i do think about arthur often. Im not really quite sure why i think about him but i would have to guess it is because of how moved i was by this and how beautiful a man arthur. i can truly say i will never forget him even though ive never met him he seems like a old friend. Just get this! You won't regret it
