Review of Western Stars

"Western Stars" is beautifully shot, incredibly poetic and grabs your attention from start to finish. . In this documentary, Bruce Springsteen performs songs from his latest album and dives deep into how these songs came to be. . Walking into "Western Stars" I didn't know what to expect, but as soon as the film began, my eyes could not leave the screen. In the moments of silence, you could hear a pin drop in the movie theatre but when the musical performances rocked the screen, you felt like you were in that barn with the Boss. I love that this doc was made to play loud and that aspect was a nice touch. Director Thom Zimny and Springsteen's approach to "Western Stars" feels dream-like to the point where once it's over, you sit in your seat and you need to soak it all in. A great, great film.
