Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind
From the song he refuses to perform to his admiration for Drake, a songwriting legend reflects on his lyrics and longevity with candour and humour. At 80 years young (and currently recording another album), Gordon Lightfoot continues to entertain and enlighten. Personal archive materials and studio sessions paint an intimate picture of an artist in his element, candidly revisiting his idealistic years in Yorkville's coffeehouses, up through stadium tours and the hedonistic '70s.

Reviews
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
