Leave your thoughts about Paul Simon: Under African Skies.
| Rolling StonePeter TraversPowered by Simon's brilliance, Under African Skies is a cultural lightning bolt that soars on its music and an unshakable belief in the transcendence of art. |
| VarietyRob NelsonUnder African Skies is appreciably smarter than most celebrity musician documentaries. |
| Film Journal InternationalMichael SauterThis absorbing documentary takes an up-close and intimate look at the musicians' creative process, then zooms out to recall the political turmoil that this landmark album left in its wake. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe result is doubly satisfying: We get not only a trenchant political drama but a bang-up concert film as well. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyThe affection between the musicians and Simon is clear. The portrait that emerges time and again is personal and a reflection of the realities of apartheid. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenThe film skillfully interweaves several strands to tell a true story with a happy ending. |
| Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaIt does lightly suggest scintillating questions about the responsibility artists have in reflecting current political moments in their music. |
| Movies.comChristopher CampbellBerlinger's doc expertly captures the debate of the time and where it's at now, 25 years later. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Meredith BordersUNDER AFRICAN SKIES is much smarter and more profound than most music documentaries. It's a powerful, beautifully executed film that entertains, informs and questions. |
| Time OutEric HynesTime and changing tides have been kind to Graceland (and to the local musicians who've since become internationally renowned), but an on-camera meeting between the songwriter and ANC leader Oliver Tambo finds their conflict between creative freedom and revolutionary solidarity fascinatingly unresolved. |
