I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife, a longterm Cohen fan, and I watched it with her, expecting to kind of enjoy it, but to my surprise I had a great time. I had distantly respected his stuff for a long time, but something about this movie made me love it. The meat of this movie is not, unfortunately, to be found in the performances by the many guest artists covering Mr. Cohen's songs. There are, frankly, very few gold stars to be handed out.
