The film chronicles the critical acclaim, lack of commercial success and the cult following of the band.[1][2][3][4]
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film received a 92% approval rating, from 39 critics, with an average score of 7.1/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me offers a persuasive argument for its subjects' cult classic oeuvre -- and presents a painfully passionate lament for their untapped potential."[5] The Village Voice's Stephanie Zacharek praised director Drew DiNicola's documentary, writing that it "honors that sense of mystery, telling the band's story as if whispering it through the cracks in a wall. There's very little footage of the band themselves—their elusive magic found its truest expression in the studio rather than before a live audience."[6]
