The critic consesnsus is: Besides being a treat for Wilco fans, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart also exposes the workings of a profit-driven music industry.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?
1. Not since Jean Luc Godard filmed the recording sessions for the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil has a filmmaker gotten this close to the creative process of musicians at work in the studio.
2. You leave I Am Trying thinking it's great Wilco made the record they wanted to make but wondering what'll happen next time around.
3. If you're a Wilco fan, drop what you're doing and head in. Even if you're not, the tension of Tweedy literally getting sick with anger is pretty universal stuff.
4. An undeniably gorgeous, terminally smitten document of a troubadour, his acolytes, and the triumph of his band.
5. Jones has crafted a natty narrative that, enhanced by Erin Nordstrom's editing, is filled with payoffs.
6. A tuneful, heartfelt tale of artistic struggle and eventual triumph.
7. Fans of critics' darling band Wilco will marvel at the sometimes murky, always brooding look of I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.
8. [Tweedy] appears a shy, truthful artist, and his songs back up that image. But is the movie a promotional device that's hiding the real thing?
9. A sly dissection of the inanities of the contemporary music business and a rather sad story of the difficulties of artistic collaboration.
10. The plot twists give I Am Trying to Break Your Heart an attraction it desperately needed.
