"Barring encores, the show documented is an almost note-exact resurrection of Reed's LP of this name, recorded 35 years ago..."Sight and Sound "Reed stands at the center, taut and impassive, punching out words that are more often spoken than sung."Los Angeles Times "In Julian Schnabel's grimly majestic concert film LOU REED'S BERLIN, Mr. Reed wears the deadpan smirk of a Zen master who has endured unusually punishing Buddhist training."New York Times "Reed and the band get a momentum going in 'Men of Good Fortune' and the great girl-group bop 'Caroline Says I'..."Entertainment Weekly12.41339

"...[A] powerful true story....Viscerally evocative..."

Entertainment Weekly "...Lushly beautiful..." Sight and Sound "...Ambitious, stylistically audacious and intelligent....A complex and rewarding film..."
