You're left with the bewilderment and joy on Kane's face as he plays the old songs, and the sense of ghosts just behind his back.
Though it is small in scale and lasts only 78 minutes, New York Doll, like any documentary, goes places we expect it to and places we do not. As journeys go, this is one to treasure.
This makes for a modestly touching journey, but New York Doll, in its wafer-thin way, is an oxymoron: a hagiographic tribute to a rocker with more passion than talent.
Unexpectedly heartwarming documentary.
A tender take on life after stardom.
Overall, New York Doll is an affectionate (occasionally too much so) look at Arthur Kane.
