Reviews

David Steinitz wrote in the Süddeutsche Zeitung : “The iconic is of course not entirely absent, because the magic of the rock star, who plays his guitar in front of the raging crowds, cannot simply be subtracted from the music lover. But that's not even necessary, because the stage and the fans float in the musician's dream from the moment the first chords are learned. And it is to this point of infatuation that Guggenheim drives his three heroes back. ” Der Tagesspiegel found Jack White, who acted“ at eye level with the world guitarists of Led Zeppelin and U2 ”, particularly remarkable.
