	Media	Author	Review
		Gwen Ihnat AV Club	"All we’re left with is the sense of how proud Rolling Stone is of Rolling Stone. That’s justified in many cases, but it still only displays one side of the story."
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"Gibney and Blair bring convincing directorial style to what is a useful and entertaining infomercial about an important chapter in American culture and journalism."
		Jem Aswad Variety	"There’s plenty in 'Stories From the Edge' that gets to the heart of what the real scene was. But ultimately, it’s four hours of them talking about themselves."
		Brian Lowry CNN	"Despite fascinating moments, 'Rolling Stone: Stories From the Edge' (...) feels a bit too much like a licensed product to be fully and consistently compelling."
		Newsday	"An in-depth look at the fascinating, not always pretty, 50-year history of Rolling Stone (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Toronto Star	"Gibney is a great documentary director (...) The Lennon story in particular demonstrates how the magazine gave voice to a cultural moment and a generation a place to come together. I cried."
		Slate	"The HBO documentary is intermittently enjoyable but overly puffed up, an infomercial dressed up as history."
