Washington PostRichard Harrington
It offers a special "something" for everyone who ever appreciated the Quiet Beatle's musical gifts and spiritual explorations. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
The sweet, solemn music of George Harrison, who died two years ago, has rarely sounded more majestic than in the sweeping performances of the enlarged star-studded band that gathered in London at Royal Albert Hall on Nov. 29 to commemorate his legacy. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Peter Rainer
The jamboree is beautifully shot and directed, by Chris Menges and David Leland respectively, and there is a haunting touch: the presence of George’s son, Dhani, on guitar, looking near-identical to his dad in his twenties. Read full review

Film gathers together only those who knew, loved and made music with "the quiet Beatle." Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
It's spookily touching to see this massed group of former rock gods gathered to honor one of their fallen. Bald spots and graying shags predominate; the giant velvet lapels of 1969 have given way to sensible sport coats; the granny glasses are for real. Read full review

Village VoiceEd Park
Both a heartwarming tribute to the late Beatle and a study of hair patterns in the aging British male, Concert for George, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall a year to the day after Harrison's death, manages both reverence and joy. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJami Bernard
Of them all, only McCartney looks out of place, perhaps mistaking the venue for Vegas. There in a nutshell could be the answer to why the Beatles broke up. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Anyone who remembers Harrison fondly will enjoy this musical tribute, though it assumes a level of familiarity with Harrison's associates that not all viewers will have. Read full review
