My favorite film at the 2021 Telluride Film Festival, “Hallelujah” is a Definitive exploration of singer songwriter Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his internationally renown hymn, “Hallelujah.” This documentary weaves together three creative strands: The songwriter and his times; the song’s dramatic journey from the record label reject to chart-topping hit; and moving testimonies from major recording artists for whom “Hallelujah” has become a personal touchstone. “A densely detailed biography of the Canadian poet, singer and songwriter that was directed by Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller, this majestic, almost symphonic documentary is also a chronicle of the singular song Cohen wrote.” – Wall Street Journal. “Whatever else he accomplished -- and he left a fair number of memorable songs -- Cohen created a song that's now ingrained in our culture and is likely to remain there.” – Robert Denerstein.
