Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song

The film tells the story of the artist, but it shows us the life of the song.

...a sprawling 115-minute-long movie that often toggles between the proverbial forest and its constituent trees. 

The film delves into every aspect of Cohen’s “Hallelujah” – the amount of time it took to write the song, the meaning of the song, the different covers of the song, and just what did Cohen think about it.

Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine's attempts to crystallize both the man and his master work, but can't quite give voice to either.
