Movie Reviews

Baret News - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA poignant portrait of a sex abuse survivor's unlikely path from abandoned street urchin to consummate poet laureate!
The Undefeated - 9/10 by Soraya Nadia McDonaldIt's easy to fall into thinking of the late Maya Angelou as something of a national grandmother when she was so much more than that. Thankfully, Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise, is here to correct that misconception.
Newcity - 9/10 by Ray PridePowerful accomplishment, capturing in under two hours a comprehensive sense of the work the poet, author and activist made, and the life she lived fully in her eighty-six years.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn extraordinary portrait of the soulful and versatile African-American icon.
Variety - 8/10 by Dennis HarveyThe famed African-American poet and memoirist is profiled in this solid if conventional docu.
New York Times - 8/10 by Ken JaworowskiMaya Angelou: And Still I Rise covers so much ground that it’s usually easy to forgive the filmmakers for not digging deeper. This is a documentary interested in breadth rather than depth, and on those terms it succeeds.
indieWire - 8/10 by Kate ErblandAngelou’s life and work was rich, significant, influential and hugely varied, and yet “And Still I Rise” is hobbled by unimaginative delivery and direction. In short, it’s limited, and Angelou’s own history proves that limitations must be fought against at every turn.
Shadow and Act - 8/10 by Aramide TinubuThrough interviews, archival footage, and her written words, Dr. Maya Angelou effectively tells her own story in this film.
Guardian - 8/10 by Lanre BakareNo hagiography, it paints a portrait of a life lived to the full and dedicated to being true to oneself.
KDHX (St. Louis) - 7/10 by Diane CarsonThe subject Maya Angelou, this intelligent, insightful artist, speaks for itself. My Life as a Film pursues a provocative question.
