Leave your thoughts about Buena Vista Social Club: Adios.
| Chicago Sun-TimesLaura EmerickBy its nature, “Adios” lacks the thrill of discovery of Wenders’ doc. But like the 1999 film, it pulls at the heartstrings and never lets up. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshBeautiful gems of wisdom and life lessons are contained within Buena Vista Social Club: Adios. The picture is an edifying celebration of this music, humanizing and contextualizing it beyond its popularity, locating its roots within a history informed by politics, colonialism, oppression, and racism. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeAfter Adios, many longtime fans will want to chase the taste away with a stiff shot of the old stuff. |
| Times (UK)Ed Potton... Cuba's geriatric music troupe get a touching send-off in Lucy Walker's hagiographic but moving documentary. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenEmotional, crowd-pleasing sequel to popular documentary. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyIt’s not as poetic or immediately enjoyable as the first film. But it is tougher and more analytical, with real challenges embedded in its pleasures. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThis movie should be of great interest to Cubaphiles, music fans, cultural historians and anyone with eyes, ears and a pulse. |
| NPRAndrew LapinAdios is less engaging than Walker's earlier work, with little of the poeticism she displayed in Waste Land and The Crash Reel. It surely doesn't help that she's stuck picking through Wenders' leftovers ... |
| South China Morning PostRichard James HavisFans of both Wenders' movie and of Cuban music ... will find it expands their knowledge and love of son, Cuba's unique sound. |
| UproxxScott TobiasAdios feels both disorganized and unnecessary, like an encore staged after the house lights have gone up and most of the audience has exited the building. |
