Hit and miss tribute to the great melancholist. Go to Full Review David Jones BBC.com 11/28/2006

Cohen is clearly a songwriter's songwriter, and the resulting movie brims with an infectious passion for the man's melodies and sardonic wit. Unfortunately, the performances are interspersed with interview footage that is much less captivating. Go to Full Review Trevor Johnston Time Out 11/23/2006
At various times poet, consort of beautiful women and Zen monk, his biog's intriguing too, all of which makes this doc highly welcome, even if it's at best a partial view. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net 07/19/2022

Filmmaker Lian Lunson uses a 2005 Sydney tribute concert to Leonard Cohen as a home base for her relatively shallow examination of the best folk singer to slit your wrists to. Go to Full Review Jason Gorber Film Scouts 06/21/2007

They really dropped the ball on this one - despite unfettered access to L.C. himself, you get a rambling interview interspersed with what for the most part are poor cover versions of the man's songs. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more 02/12/2017 I rarely see music documentaries but I'm Your Man is simply poetic. You see all starry singers sing their cover of Cohen' s songs. While enjoying the music throughout the documentary, it also feels like reading a book on Cohen. See more Read all reviews
