It’s an impressive spectacle, if not a happy one.

What are critics saying?
Shrouded in grief and chilly to the core, Andrew Dominik’s mournful documentary One More Time With Feeling is at once sobering in tone and intoxicating in style.
Time Out London by Dave Calhoun
What Dominik gives us is a portrait of an artist and a man and a family at a low. He doesn’t try to understand, but he does find some beauty and truth among the chaos and despair.
The Hollywood Reporter by David Rooney
What's most singular about the project — beautifully shot in black-and-white 3D, which often gives the images a beguiling disembodied quality — is that in addition to providing access to the creative process and deepening the album experience, it serves as a profoundly affecting reflection on the pain of parents who have lost a child.
This is a virtuosic piece of filmmaking art that also happens to be almost unbearably moving. Actually, there is no “almost.”
One More Time with Feeling is a bold poem in itself, a portrait of the artist struggling to understand the essentially incomprehensible.
Screen International by Jonathan Romney
To say that Dominik’s film touches on a raw nerve is an understatement, but the film, dedicated to the memory of Arthur, is revealing both about these musicians’ creative processes, and about questions of mourning, trauma and emotional survival
If it’s sometimes a rambling, indulgent experience, it’s also a beautiful one.
The Film Stage by Rory O'Connor
The most remarkable thing about Dominik’s film is that we are not only humble witnesses to such personal grief, but that we are seeing it actively articulated by such a fascinating mind.
Both gentle and staggering, an examination of the way our personal experiences can spur creativity—or render it inconsequential.
