| | Professional Reviews | New York Times "...Remarkable intimacy....U2's music speaks...for itself..." 11/04/1988 p.C16Washington Post 8 of 10 "U2 Rattle and Hum," the new rock documentary featuring what the promotional material claims to be "the world's most popular rock band," is an exercise in rock 'n' roll hagiography. It's a fanzine on celluloid...Undeniably, the film has a stunning look, especially the color segments shot in Tempe, Ariz., by Jordan Cronenweth, but there's not much of a rationale for it. The only illuminating sequence is the one in which the band rehearses its number with B.B. King. - Hal Hinson
