Although it could’ve flowed better with some more editing, Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man is still a fine documentary that consists of the man himself and some interviews with those in the music industry so if that’s your thing, this is probably worth a watch.

THE MOVIE — 3.25/5 |
| Sure to please both die-hard Cohen fans and the newly initiated, this film is a beautiful record of captivating music and an intimate portrait of a truly singular artist — poet, songwriter, cultural icon. |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 2.0/5 |
| This release a bit light on features but includes an Audio Commentary with Director Lian Lunson, A Conversation with Leonard Cohen (3:58; HD), Additional Performances (TRT 19:36; HD) of Leonard Cohen songs not seen in the movie and the Theatrical Trailer (2:20; HD). |
VIDEO – 4.0/5 |
| Lionsgate releases Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man onto Blu-ray presented in its original 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec). For the most part, especially for a documentary filled with concert footage, looks fine with some sharp detail and colors appear to be natural looking. |
AUDIO – 3.5/5 |
| The disc includes a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which I found serviceable enough though I did expect a bit more during the concert scenes and although it lacks depth, does utilize each channel. |
OVERALL – 3.0/5 |
|
Overall, although it could’ve flowed better with some more editing, Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man is still a fine documentary that consists of the man himself and some interviews with those in the music industry so if that’s your thing, this is probably worth a watch. The Blu-ray released by Lionsgate offers good video, okay audio and so-so bonus material. |
