Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Chuck GGreat documentary. Excellent narration by Sam Jackson.
User Review - 10/10 by SV GA fantastic look at the history of probably the most revolutionary independent music label in American history, which largely ties into the social revolutions of the time. Extremely well put-together and well-informed, this exceeded my expectations greatly, fitting all of the rises and falls of the company's time into a still-concise running time.
User Review - 10/10 by Brandi PLoved this movie. It tells a powerful story of how music brings together people across race lines in a time and a place where this would seem impossible. The art direction was great and I loved the way narratives were combined with music clips. Granted, I am biased because I love this style of music but it is a super well put together documentary.
User Review - 10/10 by Joe MAwesome movie. I am not a huge, huge fan of R&B, but I do like me some Green Onions, Isaac Hayes and Otis Redding, and it was interesting to watch the (seemingly universal) rise and fall of this creative powerhouse. It gets extra points for telling all of this within the context of the political times.
User Review - 8/10 by Scott SNot the best documentary, but anything with footage of Otis is fucking great.
User Review - 8/10 by Eugene FGreat documentary about the history of Stax Studios in Memphis. My interested was compounded since I had visited the museum, where the studio once stood a few years ago. I learned a lot about the various recording artists and the evolution and fall of the company. I didn't know that Booker T and MGs were the back-up band for many of the artists that became stars for Stax, and the relationship between Isaac Hayes and David Porter as a song writing team was interesting. The film also draws in some of the issues of the Civil Rights era and how the assassination of Dr. King in Memphis affected the future of Stax.
User Review - 6/10 by Jacob FStandard rock-doc approach, but full of great stories.
User Review - 6/10 by Danielle MThe access to footage which the director was given is enviable and the music is just too amazing to pass up but the poor over-narration by Samuel Jackson and questionable use of reenacted scenes weigh down what could've been a priceless documentary on the Stax label. Still, an entertaining watch and the interviews are quite good.
