'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 themselvestheir elusive magic found its truest expression in the studio rather than before a live audience."[http://www.villagevoice.com/2013-07-03/film/big-star-nothing-can-hurt-me/ "In 'Nothing Can Hurt Me', Big Star Shines Undiminished"], 'The Village Voice', July 3, 2013.
