Music legend Prince and his band perform 13 numbers, most of them from his double album, "Sign 'o' the Times." This is high-energy stuff: neon signs flash above the stage, suggesting the honky-tonk district of a big city, and between numbers there are vignettes of street life. Sheila E., Boni Boyer and Cat provide rhythmic, vocal and physical pyrotechnics while Sheena Easton appears in a film within a film, her rock video "U Got the Look."

Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Gene SiskelPrince himself, passing through a spectrum of costumes and sexual roles, is never less than commanding, as performer, composer, and director.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Elias LeightA svelte jolt of everything that captures Prince at his most dazzling: the singing, the dancing, the multi-instrumental talent, the rapport with his band and those bolero-chic outfits.
Tampa Bay Times - 8/10 by Eric SniderIn Purple Rain, Prince found an answer in his own life, and provided intercuts to an autobiographical story. This time, he lets the music simply speak for itself. It's fun as far as it goes, but Purple Rain, of course, went further.
Decider - 8/10 by Benjamin H. Smith... a sad reminder of how much music lost when Prince Rogers Nelson took the ladder to the big erotic city up in the sky.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Dave KehrThe film as a whole is a little like one of those inflatable love dolls -- a reasonable facsimile, but nothing like the real thing.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger Ebert[The film] was directed by Prince, and he does a good, sound job without finding an answer to the problem of all directors of rock concert films: After you have exhausted the basic repertory of obvious shots and audience reactions, what do you do then?
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Owen GleibermanThe cutting and camera work in Sign ‘O’ the Times are too intrusive, and the somewhat discordant songs worked better as a magnificent hodgepodge on the album. Still, this concert movie (which barely made it to theaters) is a feisty, engaging show.
Film4 - 4/10 by Matthew De AbaituaSign 'O' The Times is Prince at his commercial and critical peak, a life-affirming playground of music and sex. It is also Prince at his friendliest.
New York Times - 4/10 by Janet MaslinPrince, whose ties to soul and jazz are clearer than ever before, whose willingness to embrace different musical forms seems to grow all the time, has never cast a stronger spell.
User Review - 10/10 by Douglas WAny chance you EVER have to see him perform - do it. I recommend live, but this will certainly do.
