Editor’s note: In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon (2024) in a nutshell: It leans into its Documentary, Music roots without feeling derivative. With Alex Gibney at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Wynton Marsalis anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. Clocking in at 3h 39m, the pacing is controlled, with room to breathe. A respectable mid-tier entry with a couple of memorable beats. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
