CRITIC REVIEWS FOR ELVIS PRESLEY: THE SEARCHER
- “The question The Searcher asks is whether fans expected too much of Presley. As the documentary points out, there was no precedent for how an "aging rock star” behaved, pre-Elvis-because there'd never been a rock star like him before." – Noel Murray, AV Club
- “HBO's Elvis Presley: The Searcher, a two-part, three-hour documentary that focuses on Presley's performance and artistry rather than his mere legend or his well documented decline before his early death in 1977, aims to correct that.” – Corey Seymour , Vogue
- " Director Tom Zimny keeps the focus either on vintage clips or newly filmed, lovingly shots crawling over every inch of Graceland." – Roger Catlin , rogercatlin.com
