Neil Young praises the documentary film “Digger,” calling it “the best film I have ever seen.” In his remarks, the musician says reviews and critical responses have not captured the film’s overall impact, adding that some coverage misses how the movie feels or works as a whole.

Young also urges audiences to approach the film with an open mind. Multiple outlets report he frames his recommendation as a response to what he sees as inadequate descriptions of the movie’s effect by critics, even as “Digger” has struggled at the box office. Across the reports, the common theme is Young’s strong endorsement and his belief that viewers may have a different experience than what critics’ summaries suggest.
