Movie Reviews

Nashville Scene - 9/10 by Steve EricksonUltimately, Finding Fela loses its narrative backbone when it can no longer rely on gifted footage and must focus on the actual man.
Irish Times - 9/10 by Jim CarrollNo doubt others will try again but, for now, we'll have to make do with Gibney's portrayal of the man via archive footage and interviews with various talking heads.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 9/10 by Charles MudedeYou have to learn to love his music, but once you do, it will take you to the deepest places of your soul. This film, which is built around the production of the musical, is for those who want to learn how to love Kuti.
East Bay Express - 9/10 by Kelly VanceFills in the considerable gaps in our knowledge with a zesty, rough-edged style.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Sheri Linden[Gibney's] chronicle informs rather than inspires, but it's a solid introduction to a fascinating figure.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Michael O'Sullivan[A] captivating and meticulous new film by Alex Gibney.
Film-Forward.com - 9/10 by Nora Lee MandelTalking honestly about. . .revolutionary life on and off stage. . .entertaining and musically and politically informative portrait of a man, an African and world music icon.
AV Club - 9/10 by Jason HellerWhat makes Finding Fela! just as poignant is the fact that Kuti, while still listened to and appreciated by millions, is not as ubiquitous a cultural institution as Davis or Brown. Gibney doesn’t fully, forcefully make the case in Kuti’s favor — but he does take a big step in the right direction, all while sketching a vivid, evocative portrait.
Indiewire - 9/10 by Mary SollosiEven after a superbly made two-hour-long documentary, Kuti keeps many of his secrets to himself.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 8/10 by Tim CampbellAt its best, the film manages the trick of constructing a modern myth while simultaneously deconstructing it - on one level, this is a story about how to tell a story. Plus, it's got a great beat and you can dance to it.
