yorks5stringer Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 There is a big 2 page spread on it in this months MOJO ( not to be confused with a Basschatter of the same name). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazan Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 One of the best music films - well, films, period - I've ever seen. Absolutely fantastic on every level. Amazing sound quality for the time as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be the last. Would love to see it on an actual big screen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishfacefour Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 It's great. The footage of sly and the family stone is electric. The gospel section is really quite moving. I really like the way the film has been put together. The context is so important. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the way the film has been put together. The context is so important. Can't over-stress how well it's put together and edited. Made much more powerful with the context (the Nina Simone cuts come immediately to mind - there were already a couple clips on YouTube but it means more framed the way the filmmakers did IMO). That said, I hope the film's success is a catalyst to release more of the raw performance footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I’ve seen nothing but good reviews . My daughter, who is not much of a soul- music fan but considers herself a movie buff, thought it was excellent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Just seen it is being shown near to me (Brighton). Hopefully will get to see it this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Culture Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I saw it a couple of weeks ago and thought it was terrific - both from a musical perspective and from capturing American society at such a fractured and fragile point in time. And, as someone else pointed out, the sound quality is really good. I found it enlightening and heartening in equal measure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMa Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Most folks wont like this i think but I found it very generic and ended up skipping most of the wailing gospel bits. Sly was good though as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Finally got round to watching this, found it very enjoyable. Loved Sly, Fifth Dimension , David Ruffin and of course Stevie Wonder. Couldn’t make out who was in the house band(s) but some great players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I got to see it a couple of nights ago after Mrs HH used her Tesco clubcard vouchers to get Disney+ for a couple of months in an offer. Loved the footage - especially Stevie's bass player's Jazz bass. Not sure if it was actually British Racing Green or an effect of the film, but it looked lovely! Was almost matched by Larry Graham's burgundy one with blocked neck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like maybe Charcoal Frost to me (or even just black with the reflections - on my screen anyway....) Andrew White is the player.
