"You look around and you see a world that cannot be made sense of. You either raise your fist or you say hallelujah. I try to do both." Both, simultaneously! So Cohen's song "Hallelujah" arises from the same place as the poem "Thanks" by W. S. Merwin. The raised fist is the easy part. This requires an almost incomprehensible level of compassion and appreciation. It's beyond emotion, mood, attitude. It's not a product of mind or will. Perhaps it only arrives with age, when mind and will are starting to appreciate their limits. Back in the old days, I had thought Leonard Cohen was just one more phony. Or as we would say now: the songs, the voice, the attire: it's just performative, just brand-building. Well, I was wrong.

This captivating documentary shows the origins and evolution of the iconic song "Hallelujah," written by poet, author, singer/songwriter and musician Leonard Cohen. A song that transcends generations, "Hallelujah" is more than music; it is a work of art and this film is an immersive exploration of this iconic song. The documentary narrates how Cohen started his music career back in the '60's. Disappointed by his lack of success in the literary world, Cohen decided to explore a career in music, despite not intending to sing or play an instrument. In fact, Cohen didn't start writing songs until age 30. The narration in the film explores his early success in music and other aspects of his life, including his Jewish roots, politics, relationships and more. He was a spiritual seeker and his oeuvre constantly gravitated around spirituality. "Hallelujah," his most renowned song, was released in 1984. The song is a moment of realization-a revelation-about love and loss, and it touches the listener in so many different ways. The song is so larger-than-life it's almost its own person, and we see how it has become an anthem. As of today, there are over 300 cover versions of "Hallelujah." Originally 150-180 verses were written for "Hallelujah" until the perfect edition of the song was written. More popular versions have come from artists Eric Church, Jeff Buckley and John Cale. Through many different interviews, the documentary shows how most people know the song through Jeff Buckley and many thought he wrote it. It was really interesting to me to see how a lot of the film is devoted to Leonard's spirituality. One of my favorite clips was the 2009 Coachella concert where Cohen sang "Hallelujah," and you could really feel how moved and captivated the audience was. The visuals, the archived interviews and footage are all nicely arranged. I particularly enjoyed listening to the interviews with various artists, reporters and people that were close to Cohen and to witness the warmth that emanated from him. One I found very interesting was with Vicky Jenson, where she talks about how "Hallelujah" was used in the movie Shrek. Another was how singer Judy Collins remembers when she first met him how he didn't believe in his own music. Cohen's work was not always praised as some music labels rejected his albums, but his talent has proved to be immortal. The message of the film is that music is cross-generational, and it establishes an emotional connection that unites people in a powerful way. I give Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for audiences 12 to 18, plus adults. Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song opens in select theaters July 15, 2022.

Cut 20 minutes and you've got a pretty good music doc. The director clearly wanted to include all of the celebrity interviews, but they seemed kind of unnecessary and when stacked together, repetitive. Those are probably most of what you could cut. Otherwise it's an enjoyable film with really cool archival footage.

It's a documentary on the creative life of Leonard Cohen with particular emphasis on his signature song, "Hallelujah." The film takes a mostly chronological approach beginning with Cohen's early musical career and follows through to his death. Many people who worked with Cohen, including various producers, are interviewed about Cohen. Some interviews with Cohen, especially by Larry Sloman, and with clips of Cohen in performance are included. A block in the third quarter of the film deals with the many performers who covered "Hallelujah." This was a nagging disappointment, especially since I've like Leonard Cohen for a long time and included one of his songs in our 1969 wedding. This is really two incomplete documentaries mashed into one. The one that would have interested me the most would have been the spiritual journey of Leonard Cohen. The first half is mostly that, but then it obsesses over "Hallelujah" to the extent of including American Idol performers. The other documentary could have been on "Hallelujah" the song, which wouldn't have needed all of Cohen's background and could have better explored the sacred/secular/sexual aspects of that song. Still, if you like Leonard Cohen and his music, you will gain some insight in seeing this film. I did, but wished it could have been so much better.

Leonard Cohen is a name that need only be mentioned to invoke greatness. One of the best songwriter-poets of all time, rivaled only by perhaps Bob Dylan. And this beautiful cinematic documentary does him justice, to say the least. Cohen's life and career is beautifully chronicled and his immensive songwriting process. It's a very beautifully shot documentary, and the cinematography and editing is splendid. Overall, one of the best films of 2022 and one that is definitely recommended for any fans of Leonard Cohen. It's just a beautiful piece of filmmaking and a beautiful portrait of a great man! May his legacy live on.

Having read Mr. Cohen's autobiography, I was quite aware of his life's journey, but, this doc was a welcome addition to the image I had of one of this centuries resplendent luminaries. To say Cohen was a genius is almost an understatement and this movie only reinforces my opinion. He was truly a once in a lifetime personality. As slightly older Jew with a unique, unconventional voice who decides at 30 years old to become a rock singer and proceeds to write and perform some of the great songs of his generation, Cohen broke all of the conventions of the modern rock industry. One of the things that surprised me was the times Cohen could be outright playful and his wicked sense of humor which stands in stark contrast to his outward appearance. In the end, it was illuminating to see the evolution of one of the most iconic songs ever written. On a personal note, as an amateur singer/songwriter, I learned that there is not enough tragedy and in my life for me to ever write music on his level (plus a lack of talent:)). I watched this with my SO who knew very little about Leonard Cohen, but, she was completely enchanted by the man and his spiritual journey. Whether you are a fan or not, this movie will definitely make you think about your place and time on planet earth and that, in and of itself, is worth the time spent watching this film.

I am not a Leonard Cohen fan myself although I do love many of his songs, but even for the non fans this documentary could be worth the watch, because of the delightful, pleasant person that Leonard Cohen is as a humanbeing next to being gifted with a wonderful, unique voice and and an even bigger talent for writing songs that the most legendary, biggest musicians of this world have copied and praised. With a particular attention to one song "Hallelujah" this documentary about the life of Leonard Cohen is an easy, pleasant watch, with many surprises for those who are not very familiar with his music. What a voice. What terrific songs. What a man!

Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song left me in its spell, and Cohen's. The film has so may layers, it is uplifting and thought provoking. A beautifully crafted film.

For those of you who are unaware, Leonard Cohen was a Jewish Canadian mystic poet. His concern was the apparent conflict between the sacred and the profane. One day he realized what he was writing might actually be songs, and so began a concert and recording career. The song in the title "Hallelujah" was a track on an album which his company refused to release -- in my opinion, Cohen's mixture of the sacred and the earthy in this song likely offended the equally Jewish head of the company so much it was not released in the US. Nonetheless, the song caught on over the decades. As a Jew, I find nothing surprising in this. As Cohen notes in one of the later interviews included herein, Judaism makes you want to raise your fist and to shout hallelujah. To Christians, who believe in a benevolent G*d, this seems to be confusing; however Jews recognize that the world is G*d's creation just as much as the Torah. Which is why there are more than a hundred verses in Cohen's notebooks, with subjects ranging from angels to bondage. Cohen wrote some other excellent songs, too.
