Although a tad threadbare in the talking-head department (here comes Eric Burdon, again), this cheerful history of the British music weekly Melody Maker has enough inside dope to maintain interest.

Rating: 8/10 --
The film of almost the same name, Melody Makers, directed by Leslie Ann Coles, gives the writers and photographers of the magazine's golden era a chance to tell the stories behind the stories.

Film Threat
Rating: 2/5 --
The entire documentary plays like a trailer for itself, speeding through everything so quickly as though it's afraid we'll get bored and change the channel.

At times the film feels like outtakes from another, more cohesive documentary about Melody Maker's legacy.

Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Leslie Ann Coles' feature debut chronicles the magazine's heyday in the '60s and '70s; if Melody Maker had been a band, this was the period when it went electric.

National Post
While it's technically dry and straightforward, the film finds an agreeably nostalgic rhythm.

Product Description:
Writer-director Leslie Ann Coles' nostalgic music documentary explores the legacy of Britain's Melody Maker––one of the earliest weekly music magazines. Barrie Wentzell, the magazine's chief contributing photographer, recounts its heyday during the 60s and 70s––when rock n' roll journalists had intimate access to world-famous acts like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and David Bowie.
