WHO IS HARRY NILSSON (AND WHY IS EVERYBODY
TALKIN' ABOUT HIM)? has been nominated for a 2011 WGA for "Best Documentary Screenplay"!! “If you see one rock doc this year, make it HARRY NILSSON. Close to genius!” “Anyone susceptible to [Harry Nilsson's] graceful melodies, witty and poignant lyrics, and preternaturally sweet voice – will want to see 'Who is Harry Nilsson...?'” “["WHO IS HARRY NILSSON...?"] becomes like one of his songs: melancholy, whimsical, and memorable.” “...In a perfect world, everybody would still be talking' about him. Thankfully, John Scheinfeld's documentary does that and more...” “Illuminating, star-filled, and wildly entertaining” “A deeply felt documentary... Writer-director John Scheinfeld covers the many ups and downs of his life thoroughly and empathetically, without sentimentalizing or rationalizing away the demons that Nilsson struggled with, and eventually succumbed to.” “An anecodotal tapestry...heartfelt...loving” “John Scheinfeld's in-depth bio-documentary about singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson--the man who sang "Everybody's Talkin' " (from "Midnight Cowboy")--does something that few such films accomplish: it allows the audience to feel as though they have walked a mile in another man's shoes.” “Rarely has the life of any music figure been covered with as much obvious love and honesty as in this film. A highly engaging, deeply touching ride.” “The sense of personal involvement...elevates the film above the run-of-the-mill rockumentary.” “'Who Is Harry Nilsson...?' is a godsend...” “Director John Scheinfeld's film, utilizing interviews with friends and collaborators, hits a high note.” “'Who Is Harry Nilsson' doc will give legendary singer a posthumous comeback.” “One of the best rock-music docs ever made...” “Oscar, anyone?” |
