Chicago Reader by

It's a haunting portrait of a young man who, while genuinely gifted and loved by friends and family, couldn't cope with the world.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

It's a lovely tribute to an extraordinary talent whose music might have been forgotten, and you really couldn't ask for a more beautiful soundtrack.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

More popular today than during his lifetime (his music even made it into a Volkswagen commercial), Drake once complained, "Everybody tells me I'm great, but I'm broke. Why?"
