“I will leave it to someone else to critique the film making u0026amp; technical art. I watched this film to see Harry come to life again for 90 precious minutes and was not disappointed. Why no 10? I wanted more; more songs, more stories about Harry and his songwriting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is obviously a Chaplin family blessed enterprise, no unauthorized biopic here. Harry is briefly shown in his childhood u0026amp; youth and soon the stories start u0026amp; youu0026#39;ll be smiling and remembering if you are old enough (I am, barely.). Harry was just so alive, so driven to push others to action, so charismatic that his marks on this world have only deepened over time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film does a remarkable job with original video of Harry and his band and his family. His surviving brothers and Big John Wallace are additional key contributors.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn todayu0026#39;s world, terms such as inequality u0026amp; social justice are overused u0026amp; often are utilized to indict others. Harry promoted social justice and equality the old-fashioned, hard-core way, with his voice u0026amp; his heart u0026amp; his soul. The dignity with which he treated humankind is too often missing from modern discourse, Harry made it real, Harry made it happen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCheck this film out, even if you only know Cats in the Cradle and Taxi.”
