Critics' Reviews

In a lengthy sequence, Carney has a ball watching the music lovers vibe: if the jam session isn’t quite Paul McCartney making up ‘Get Back’ on the fly, it is a joy to watch the two men create, especially when the two riff on a Rick composition, ‘How To Write A Song (Without You)’.
