Under The Influence is ultimately much more of a listening pleasure than a viewing one. Neville's by-the-book direction makes sure of that. That said, Richards is an undeniably magnetic force of nature that keeps the attention span reined in for the swift 80-minute runtime. Read full review

The new documentary on Keith by Morgan “20 Feet From Stardom” Neville still manages to surprise and delight. Read full review

Richards is such a fun interviewee that there’s no point kvetching about the film’s superficial treatment. Read full review

For all Neville's undoubted slickness and poise as a filmmaker, Under The Influence displays a fundamental lack of curiosity about the cackling enigma at its heart. Read full review

It would be just about impossible to make a bad documentary about Keith if he and some of his friends and collaborators were involved; thus, this is not bad, or even middling, but with Neville's access and subject think what it could have been.
