"Neville might not dig up any new revelations or eyebrow-raising moments, but it does elevate the voice of McCartney and relates how some naysayers have discounted his post-Beatles work while others—including John Lennon's son, Julian—consider some of his so-called misfires to be ingenious."
"What makes Man on the Run such a warm and needed embrace for McCartney fans is the voice-over by Paul himself and the treasure trove of archival images and videos (the snaps and tapes of him with his family and the band in Scotland are priceless) along with snippets from some of his most beloved classics."
"What results in that more limited time frame is an unabashedly joy-filled invite into the life, love and career of one of the world's most popular entertainers. Now this is the way to make a music documentary."
Morgan Neville's documentary 'Man on the Run' centers on Paul McCartney's solo career with Wings and his personal life with Linda McCartney and their children, rather than extensively covering the Beatles' formation and breakup. The film features McCartney's own voice-over narration alongside archival images, videos, and snippets from his most beloved songs. While the documentary doesn't uncover groundbreaking revelations, it presents perspectives from various figures, including Julian Lennon, who defend McCartney's post-Beatles work against critics who dismissed it. The film celebrates McCartney's achievements as a solo artist and provides an intimate look at his life, relationships, and career trajectory beyond his iconic band years.
