George Harrison: Living In The Material World.

Don't start this if you decide you want to do anything else all day...not only is it long, but it sure as hell makes you think a lot. The problem is, I just never felt like Marty was getting at everything that should've been there. For something that was over 200 minutes you'd think there would be a bit more focus and detail, but I still can't help feeling like there was some skipping over done.

All in all, a really great tribute to a visionary.

At least a 3/4, it's on HBO and also found it on OnDemand services currently in two parts.

I was disappointed by this documentary. Not that I didn't enjoy it, I was deeply moved by it at times, and can't help but love anything that fauns over the Beatles' legacy, but it was this fawning that bothered me coming from Scorsese. The doc played like a promotional piece written by Harrison's publicist. Everything that could've been considered controversial about George Harrison was danced around or completely avoided. His womanizing, his temper, his copyright suit... I just feel that the best documentaries maintain a certain journalistic distance from their subject, and don't shy away from the unflattering moments, but this doc did nothing of the kind. Scorsese handled Harrison with kid gloves, and as a result the portrait felt unfinished. As I read in another review, it's part of a trend in recent documentaries that whitewash their subjects as if made by a devoted fan instead of a critical documentarian. Apparently, this is nothing new from Scorsese, but it's the first of his rock legend documentaries I've seen.
