Review of Pearl Jam Twenty (2011) by Rob Nelson for Variety — 16 Sep 2011
Finding a pulse only in the band's late-reel performance of "Alive," a lusty passage that would've begun a pic intent on making a case for the group's greatness, "Twenty" simply counts the years from 1991 via sludgy backstage and onstage footage whose rarity can't forgive its inclusion.
Crowe's critic mentor, the late Lester Bangs, would cringe.
