If we’re to understand Hoon’s life through his footage, it’s as a victim of a lifestyle that amplifies not just the sounds in your head but the problems at your core. Read full review

The Irish TimesTara BradyApr 8, 2022
Directors Danny Clinch, Taryn Gould, and Colleen Hennessy have sifted through hundreds of hours of footage to fashion something that allows for a sense of the person behind the rock casualty. To this end, they do a splendid job. Read full review

The GuardianPhil HoadApr 7, 2022
It’s a quizzical time capsule of pre-internet fame from the perspective of a troubled but capable young man who knew his way around a camera. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyApr 7, 2022
This is hardly the sound of artistic burnout. No mean videographer either, Hoon departed with a great deal left to say. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearJun 26, 2020
And when we arrive at Hoon keeping the camera rolling as he lays on a New Orleans bed, literally hours before he’ll be found unresponsive on the band’s tour bus, it doesn’t feel ghoulish. It just feels like we’ve walked long and hard in his shoes and reached the end way too soon. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustJul 2, 2020
That Hoon lived such a prototypically rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, while simultaneously commenting on it — he notes his first broken hotel room mirror — is fascinating. And heartbreaking. Read full review

Screen DailyStephen Whitty Jun 25, 2020
In a way, the film is its own genre – the found-footage documentary. There are no interviews with other people, no self-described experts. Just Hoon, who – adding to the film’s melancholy sense of waste – comes across as an unspoiled, charismatic and mostly amiable young man. Read full review

The film refuses to shy away from the unvarnished honesty of Blind Melon frontman Shannon Hoon during his brief moment of fame. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesJun 25, 2020
From the most generous angle, All I Can Say functions as a found footage précis of the perils of fast fame, illustrating Hoon’s deepening addictions as the band’s profile rises. Read full review

The New York TimesGlenn KennyJun 25, 2020
The movie will be most profitably consumed by fans — people who believe Hoon earned the tribute. While one does not want to be cruel, one is obliged to be frank. Read full review

All I Can Say feels much longer than it actually is. Hoon struggled with addiction. He was arrested many times. It's a cautionary tale but one we've heard so many times before. Fans of Hoon will thrill to all of this footage. For others, it'll be a pretty tough haul. Read full review
