New York Daily News Robert Dominguez

Moog mostly has the amiable, 70-ish inventor recounting his story, from his teen years as an electronics whiz in the Bronx to his development of a smaller, cheaper synthesizer.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

At the very least, Moog should persuade you that the history of music over the last century is as much a story of technology and sound as a family tree of stylistic influences. It's a very useful reminder.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

Smart and fast-paced.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Fjellestad exhibits a playful adoration for the man and the otherworldly sounds of his machine in an intriguing rendering of one of music technology's seminal figures.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps

Short and shapeless but nonetheless welcome documentary.

Village Voice Nick Catucci

Dry interviews and soggy performances by the likes of Money Mark and Rick Wakeman of Yes don't do much to burnish Moog's legacy.

TV Guide Ken Fox

This short documentary might teach you a thing or two about the electronic instrument that revolutionized the sound of modern music.

LA Weekly Greg Burk

Largely, you get to watch a nice old guy waxing philosophical in his beloved vegetable garden, in his workshop or amid city traffic. If that switches you on, then plug in.

Boston Globe Leighton Klein

For every insight, there are a half-dozen meandering conversations and unguided reminiscences.

40

Empire Simon Crook

Yet in spite of the affable Mr. Moog, the mood remains distant, too fetishistic to be passionate. Great noises, though.

Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten

Moog is an inventor's movie all the way.
