Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
while nothing in your life may come as easily to you as everything in Coldplay?s lives seems to have come to them, this delightful and unexpectedly inspiring documentary has a funny way of making your dreams seem closer than they might appear.
Rolling Stone
[Chris Martin's] hinted that this could be Coldplay's last album; if so, they're going out on a sustained note of grace.
New York Times
Blissful even at its most bittersweet, it?s an album on which three songs make lyrical references to diamonds ? as in, ?We are diamonds? ? and every surface contentedly gleams.
The Guardian
This is a watchable, if blandly celebratory and unchallenging portrait of a massive rock institution.
Time Out
While his bandmates are happy to fade into the background, Martin ? part puppy dog, part jack-in-the-box ? is a magnet for the camera. He?s restless, funny, insecure and likeable ? often all at the same time.
Empire
Mat Whitecross draws compelling lines between Coldplay?s past and present in a documentary as colourful and optimistic as its namesake album. It?s one for the fans ? even the ones too reluctant to admit that they are.
The Telegraph
Throughout, the band?s big, bittersweet sound is, as ever, wonderfully immersive: whalesong cycles of electric guitar echoing through a buoyant soup of synths that sound both pleasant and forgettable.
