With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among spy-story fans and people who'll be humming afterwards, this one's for you. Nobody is quite who they seem. A good follow-up to The Last Waltz or 20 Feet from Stardom. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 32 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Weaving blistering performance footage from Europe, Japan, and the U.S. with a sublimely restrained, intimate glimpse into a world-renowned jazz percussionist’s singular voice and complex cosmology.
