More than a biographical documentary, Eno emerges as a brilliant and endlessly inspiring creative manifesto. Read full review

The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeJul 15, 2024
What is particularly striking, however, uniting most critics so far, is how elegantly the film flows; there is a curious, intuitive logic weaving together these randomly chosen scenes and clips. It’s an outstanding achievement. Read full review

The New York TimesAlissa WilkinsonJul 11, 2024
There’s a pure joy to this documentary, a sense that creativity is miraculous and we ought to be grateful that we get to participate in it. I left both screenings full of ideas for my own work. Read full review

The core Eno that emerges is one dedicated to the deconstruction of music and its making at a fundamental level, then recreating it in amorphous terms: feeling, landscape, peripheral perception, belonging. Read full review

TheWrapSteve PondJan 23, 2024
The film is defiantly unconventional even if it does provide enough of the usual beats to give its audience a solid footing. Read full review

The film works most of the time, largely because its subject is such interesting — and warm — company. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanJan 23, 2024
The appeal of “Eno” — like the appeal of Brian Eno himself — is that the film conjures a wholehearted and accessible experience within an experimental veneer. Read full review

The film’s randomly generated structure manages to cohere enough to make the experiment mostly a success. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearJan 23, 2024
It was a singular experience, impossible to replicate and uninterested in being definitive on anything, much the gent at the center of it all. Read full review

The GuardianSteve RoseJul 11, 2024
You could almost call [Eno] a meta-artist. And this is his meta-documentary; it is not, ultimately, as radical as it purports to be, or as revealing as it could have been perhaps (some external viewpoints would have been welcome), but stimulating and cerebral all the same. Read full review

Paste MagazineNatalia KeoganJul 11, 2024
This approach fundamentally misunderstands Eno’s entire creative ethos, which relies on technology to elevate—not replace—the unique human ability to create art, a quality that is sorely remiss here. Read full review

IndieWireSiddhant AdlakhaJan 23, 2024
With a human artist at the center of the film — one with wit and alluring charm, and whose reflections on death and creativity are intriguing, and even harrowing — to eschew meaning in the name of a nominal experiment is artistic malpractice. Read full review
