Rating: 2.5/4 --
The better way to come close to an understanding of who The Band was is to re-watch The Last Waltz instead.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Like similar music docs, Once Were Brothers relies heavily on archival footage, familiar photographs, and outtakes from photography shoots. ... Yet, the beauty of Rohr's documentary is how engagingly he arranges it.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The group will remain most famous for the great 1978 Martin Scorsese rock-doc, "The Last Waltz"; while this is nowhere on par with that, it provides a valuable look into the group's origins, dynamics and the making of that great Scorsese film.

Music fans will appreciate this cinematic ode to the greatness of the Band, if not its lack of fairness.

Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's a bracing journey filled with wonderful anecdotes and splendid footage, and it is, emphatically, Robbie Robertson telling the story of The Band, from his perspective.

Globe and Mail
Rating: 2/4 --
Robertson has a gift for romanticizing his own hero's journey, even if in the end, the film comes off as elaborate self-justification.

San Francisco Chronicle
Rating: 87/100 --
It has great performance footage, interesting talking heads, and freighted music. It feels sentimental and bittersweet, with Robertson coming across as a thoughtful, respectful, vaguely professorial figure.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Inspired by Robertson’s 2017 bestselling memoir Testimony, ONCE WERE BROTHERS: ROBBIE ROBERTSON AND THE BAND is a confessional, cautionary, and sometimes humorous tale of Robertson’s young life and the creation of one of the most enduring groups in the history of popular music. The film blends rare archival footage and interviews with many of Robertson’s friends and collaborators, including Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Scorsese, Taj Mahal, Peter Gabriel, David Geffen and Ronnie Hawkins, among others.
