The film also premieres at Tribeca on June 12. Watch the trailer, an IndieWire exclusive, below. Sony Pictures Classics will release “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song” in select theaters on July 1, 2022. And so we join his journey, this song’s kaleidoscopic journey, for a brief moment in time - before it continues long after we’re gone.” In her IndieWire review, Ella Kemp wrote that “to search for any one answer to explain the sacred magic of ‘Hallelujah’ and the meticulous, torturous effort that got Cohen there would be to strip it of the very thing that makes it so precious. Whether you’re a longtime devotee of Cohen’s or a newcomer who first encountered his songwriting in Rufus Wainwright’s cover in “Shrek,” the film should be can’t-miss viewing. From his struggles to find commercial success in an industry that did not quite know how to embrace him, to his stint as a Zen monk and his eventual return to touring at the end of his life, “Hallelujah” hopes to offer the most expansive cinematic look at Cohen’s career to date. The film, which had a successful festival run in 2021 starting in Venice, explores Cohen’s lifelong journey as a songwriter and frequent artistic evolutions. “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song,” a new documentary from Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine (“The Galapagos Affair”), seeks to change that. It appears to be taken from a concert in Spain during his tour of Europe in 1988. ‘Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love’ Review: Nick Broomfield Offers a Muddled Look at Musician and Muse Cohen really puts on a good show here and sounds marvelous.
