Movie Reviews

Willamette Week - 9/10 by Enid SpitzDirector John Turner's low-budget documentary about Pandit's life and work is a bit rough around the edges, but the film skillfully dissects the man's double life in a way that validates Pandit's struggle and the odd beauty of his whole show.
User Review - 8/10 by Phillip OA terrific and multi-toned documentary that's a must for music fans, especially if they've never heard of Korla Pandit and/or live in Columbia, Missouri.
