Musician Neil Young (l.) is the center of director Jonathan Demme (r.)'s new documentary.
  • By Peter Rainer Film critic

Jonathan Demme鈥檚 鈥�Neil Young Journeys鈥� is his third documentary about the legendary rocker. Unlike the previous entries, this one is essentially a solo concert film, recorded over several nights in Toronto鈥檚 Massey Hall in May 2011.

鈥淧eaceful Valley Boulevard,鈥� After the Gold Rush,鈥� 鈥淵ou Never Call鈥� and many others classics are sung, and a tiny camera mounted below Young鈥檚 microphone gets up close and personal with the singer. We also hear Young reminiscing as he drives to the concert from his hometown of Omemee, Ontario. A feast for Neil Young lovers and initiates alike. Grade: A- (Unrated.)
