**WINNER: CRITICS’ CHOICE AWARDS, MOST COMPELLING LIVING SUBJECT OF A DOCUMENTARY**
"You could make a convincing case that without Danny Fields, punk rock would not have happened." Charlie Curkin, December 26th, 2014.
ROLLING STONE, "DANNY SAYS" NAMED ONE OF THE 15 MUST-SEE MOVIES OF SXSW:
"…a nice Fields 101 primer on the man who almost undoubtedly helped shape whatever music you are listening to right now." March 9th, 2015.
VARIETY, "DANNY SAYS" NAMED ONE OF THE 13 BREAK OUT MOVIES OF SXSW:
"Indelible snapshots of Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop, the Velvet Underground, the Ramones and many more in their prime." Dennis Harvey, March 22nd, 2015.
"Rock gadfly Danny Fields reminiscences of the 1960's and 1970's are pure gold in Brendan Toller's documentary… Assembly is first-rate, with mix of sterling archival materials and starry talking heads echoing the subject's gossipy, profane, impudent manner. Several lively animated sequences further diversify the package. The soundtrack, needless to say, is a mix tape dream." Dennis Harvey, March 18th, 2015.
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, REVIEW:
"An enjoyable romp through several of pop culture's most exciting scenes…" John Defore, April 2nd, 2015.
"He's a colorful storyteller, witty and candid and all out of fucks to give. Director Toller complements those stories with priceless archival footage, unheard old tapes, and inventive new animation, to create a fast-paced, energetic, and thoroughly enjoyable portrait."
Jason Bailey, March 20th, 2015.
“"Superb... What emerges is a rich portrait of one of 20th century pop culture’s great facilitators, whose keen observations, quirky personality and natural affinity for the outré helped greatness happen." Noel Murray, September 29th, 2016.
“What struck me most about the film was how this ultimate fan of popular culture lived out the values of official Modernism, always seeking the new and the radical. Warhol, who had learned precisely the same values in art school, was Fields’s first encounter with the pop avant-garde, in 1963, and then Fields went on to surf the cutting-edge through most of the important rock movement of the next decade.” Blake Gopnik, September 28th, 2016.
