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
- Great for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and people who love a true story told well. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside Avicii: True Stories.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 52 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Two decades after the album’s critically acclaimed release, hip-hop artist Nas teamed up with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., to stage a symphonic rendition of “Illmatic,” one of the most revered albums in hip-hop history. Nas: Live From the Kennedy Center captures the energy and nostalgia of this collaborative performance.
