    So... I see Laurel Canyon listed with numerous recommendations from reputable critics. It's on Epix which is a new channel my CATV provider had added because it had taken Cinemax off of a basic subscription package.

    So, for the first time I have a reason to watch something on Epix and is was well worth my time.

    I guess anyone who knows even a little bit about the history of rock-and-roll has heard of Laurel Canyon and the impact the artists who lived their had on musical culture.

    But, I was pleasantly surprised to learn a lot of things about the history of 1960's Laurel Canyon that I had never known. For example, somehow I just never knew about the overlap of The Monkeys and Frank Zappa. I recommend this documentary to anyone interested in the history of rock music.    … Expand

    Ellwood isn’t telling us what to make of all this in the context of 2020, not any more than her subjects seem able to. They simply were as they were, and A Place in Time is merely a snapshot of a particularly fertile yet myopically flawed moment of youth culture. (Most of the good ones are both.)

    The lack of talking heads does get a tad monotonous, as does the constant identification of each voice speaking, but it’s a small price to pay for the fascinating stories that were collected from the archival interviews. Laurel Canyon really evokes the magic of the late ’60s and early ’70s and the area that generated so much fantastic music.

    Laurel Canyon: A Place in Time is immersive rather than analytical. The director has a sure feel for the essence of the period and its players, and for the social and emotional impact of their songs. Thanks to a superbly curated wealth of material and the ace editing of Anoosh Tertzakian, a world comes alive within the doc's relatively brief running time (the two episodes each clock in under 90 minutes).
