Moonage Daydream Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Jordan Hoffman
If there's a message at all in Moonage Daydream, it is secondary to the experiential nature of the movie. That's hardly a knock. One goes to a concert to be thrilled, not necessarily to gather life lessons.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
...a thoughtful, meditative, almost trance-inducing rumination on the meaning of art and life.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
If you're a fan of the Thin White Duke in all his guises and want to recreate that Pink Floyd laser show you got baked at when you were 15, this is the movie for you - see it on an IMAX screen for additional cosmic brain damage.
Book & Film Globe
Sara Stewart
Moonage Daydream is more a vibe than a narrative.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
This is an experience: an immersive, kaleidoscopic fantasia.
Slate
Carl Wilson
The grist is often great... but their potency can't survive being mashed and VFX'd into a two-hour-and-20-minute music video. What could?
Observer
Oliver Jones
In Moonage Daydream, Morgen... feints inquiry while reveling in and soaking up the dynamic mystery, spectacle and wonder of the original man who fell to earth.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
If nothing else, Moonage Daydream captures him as we'd like to remember him: dazzling, sensitive, full of questions-and in the end, as happy, probably, as a truly brilliant person can ever be.
Rolling Stone
Rob Sheffield
Moonage Daydream reminds you why the ideal of a Bowie biopic is always doomed to fall short, because there's only one actor cracked enough to inhabit this role. And that's the man who lived it night and day for all those golden years.
Variety
Jem Aswad
"Moonage Daydream" is the first graduate school-level music documentary - it omits the basics and glories in the details, which actually gives the film a greater authority.

Melissa Anderson
Morgen too often indulges his aggravating instinct to cut away from his captivating subject to bombard us with enervating frippery. Desperately, manically trying to draw us in, his ill-conceived Bowie bauble succeeds only in pushing us out.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Intentionally overwhelming, "Moonage Daydream" is indulgent and overproduced - which suits its subject.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
Morgen manifests a sensorial invocation of Bowie's spirit, suited to delight acolytes and nonbelievers alike, for a tribute worthy of his unclassifiable genius.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
The enthrallment died long before the film's final curtain, and I was left feeling disconnected by Morgen's indulgences.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's an experience first and a documentary second.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Context & evaluation - the sources and influences of his music; its relation to what was happening in the wider world - are left to the viewer to supply or infer. The work, and the artist's presence, are paramount. For the most part, this approach works.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Brett Morgan's David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream plunges into the mind of the rock star and comes away with something that, at its best, is a gift of sound and vision.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Can only be described as an enormous cinematic collage.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
"Moonage Daydream" is a Technicolor pastiche of sound, image, mood and feel - all the things that gave Bowie his near-mythical power.
Washington Post
Pat Padua
Far from a nostalgic package of greatest hits, "Moonage Daydream" suggests that pop music is at its best when it's mysterious.
