Full Plot Details

"Possibilities" is an intimate documentary about Herbie Hancock and his in-studio collaborations with a dozen formidable pop recording artists, collaborations that explore the unexpected, like jazz improvisations. The film is also about how Herbie's unique world view shapes a creative environment that encourages artists to step outside the velvet prison of easy expectations. "The hip stuff," Herbie tells Trey Anastasio, in a scene from the film, "is outside the comfort zone." "Possibilities" follows Herbie over a year and a half collaborating with musical icons Carlos Santana, Sting, Angelique Kidjo, Annie Lennox and Paul Simon, young superstars Christina Aguilera, John Mayer, Trey Anastasio and Jonny Lang and newcomers Joss Stone, Raul Midon, Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan. The film also puts Herbie's latest work in the context of his extraordinary musical career, and includes rarely seen archival footage of Herbie with the Miles Davis Quintet in 1962; Herbie leading his Headhunters with their hit tune, "Chameleon"; Herbie's classic video for "Rockit"; and never-before-seen duets of Herbie and Wayne Shorter playing for peace in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 2005 on the 60th anniversary of the atomic explosions.

Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 7/10 by Laura KernMr. Hancock, a longtime practitioner of Buddhism who encourages his adoring colleagues to journey beyond their "comfort zones," resulting in some interactions and freestyle jamming that are truly infectious.
L.A. Weekly - 7/10 by Ernest HardyFilled with great archival footage from throughout Hancock's five-decade career, and with elder-statesman words of wisdom from the man himself, Possibilities celebrates an impulse that's too rare in modern music: the love behind the labor of creation.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Kirk HoneycuttThe project is not without insights into Hancock's career and musical philosophy and holds moments of inspiration with these stars. Yet the result does feel a bit promotional as the focus is on a particular CD and not on the sum and substance of this keyboard legend's extraordinary career.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonThis is primarily a film for fans of all involved.
Variety - 6/10 by Phil GalloThe film is the portrait of a kind and giving man open to all positive ideas that come his way.
New York Post - 5/10 by V.A. MusettoThe film plays like one long commercial. The music's cool, but you're better off buying the CD.
TV Guide - 5/10 by Maitland McDonagh[The archival clips] are more interesting than the present-day material, which has the bland smoothness of a promotional press kit.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Josh KunPossibilities ends up as a testament to only one thing: a missed opportunity to explore one of the most visionary and influential careers in modern music.
Film Journal International - 4/10 by Daniel EaganA cynic might regard Herbie Hancock: Possibilities as a glorified 'making of' video, fleshed out with some archival footage and clips from recent concerts.
User Review - 10/10 by John EPay no attention to the critics reviews. Great movie that shows a genius and his amazing counterparts work through the creative process of making an improvisational and diverse collaboration album. Great watch if you have Netflix.
