Cologne 75 Ratings & Reviews
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
A pleasant little pick-me-up.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Jason Flatt
[Köln 75 begs] you to try to understand the impossible notion of jazz in Jarrett's head-to feel for yourself how music like this can bring you to life.
That Shelf
Rachel West
Like jazz itself, Köln 75 thrives on improvisation, bold choices, and fearless energy, reminding us that sometimes the most memorable performances happen offstage.
Hey, Have You Seen ...?
Jared Mobarak
Fluk infuses an energy that makes veracity an afterthought to entertainment. Köln 75 is instead about vibes, jazz, and the woman who made The Köln Concert iconic despite the guy who happened to be playing the music on-stage.
In Review Online
Ethan J. Rosenberg
Rubs the edges off of other hipster-adjacent pieces of media... in its amiable and largely successful attempt to dramatize the recording of Jarrett's legendary live album for us. But hey, snobs need crowd-pleasers, too.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
It's a very fun and clever film.
PopMatters
Sal Cataldi
KÖLN 75 tells the story of a music-obsessed German teenager who overcame many obstacles to produce the most legendary concert by pianist Keith Jarrett.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
It's not destined for anywhere near the same cultural impact as the true story it depicts, although this period drama benefits from strong portrayals and an appropriately scrappy earnestness.
Spectrum Culture
Joseph Neff
Part of what makes Köln 75 a worthwhile watch is how it diverts from the expectations one might have for a movie that documents an important event in music history.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Even the most formulaic scenes in the film bop with the zest of history being lived first-hand, as if the script were happily oblivious to its own clichés.
MovieJawn
Aaron Guttenplan
Köln 75 shows the ways in which trying to market this type of music can conflict with the artists themselves, as Jarrett's demanding genius pushes Brandes's resolve to the breaking point.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
A movie that's a little too eager to be liked. But it's also tough to resist.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[Writer/director Ido] Fluk shows a real sense of passion for the music itself and the hands-on work of getting that music in front of an audience...
FandomWire
Sean Boelman
Like any good jazz composition, Köln 75 is more than the sum of its parts. It's a little chaotic and throws a bit too much at the wall, but the pieces come together serendipitously to create a uniquely artistic experience.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Mildly engaging, but meandering and undercooked.
Hollywood Report Card
Ross Anthony
From roughly the 48 minute mark to a few beats before the end, the film is absolutely Oscar worthy. And, in my opinion, worth watching for that one hour alone.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Jack Walters
"Much like the musical genre that it depicts, Köln 75 is an unpredictable and non-conformist drama about the budding jazz scene in 1970s Berlin."
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
This is one of those hyper-active movies where people -- especially Vera -- are constantly rushing about with maximum urgency but without whipping up corresponding narrative vigor.
The Film Verdict
Stephen Dalton
Ido Fluk's playful period biopic celebrates the remarkable true story of the teenage German girl who made a landmark jazz concert happen against impossible odds.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
Köln 75 is a minor lark, but it has an infectious spirit.
