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.
70
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.
70
Chicago Reader
J.R. Jones
Smart and fast-paced.
60
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.
60
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Keith Phipps
Short and shapeless but nonetheless welcome documentary.
50
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.
50
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.
50
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.
50
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.
30
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Moog is an inventor's movie all the way.
