Leave your thoughts about WHAM!.
| The PlaylistBrian FarvourWhether a viewer might be a fan of Wham! or not is ultimately irrelevant, as Chris Smith has produced something as incendiary as any of Wham!’s hits. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireWhether you still know every word to “Wham Rap!” four decades later or only remember the British pop duo as “George Michael and that other guy,” you’ll find everything you want in the Netflix documentary Wham! |
| Original-CinKaren GordonDirector Chris Smith resists unnecessary embellishments to tell the story of the friendship and partnership of Andrew Ridgeley and the late George Michael two school friends who became international music superstars. The result is a satisfying documentary that resists hagiography and instead focuses on the human beings. |
| ColliderChase HutchinsonEven as there are some moments where it can fall into feeling like a greatest hits recap of the group that dances along the surface of the story, the more complicated reflections it offers on their lives and music cuts quite a bit deeper when it counts. |
| Paste MagazineTara BennettA tight yet thorough timeline of Wham!’s creation, meteoric ascension and then abrupt ending, Wham! uses the archival recordings of Michael and more recent recorded musings of Ridgeley to tell their story from their perspectives. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThere’s no overreaching attempt to paint the band as anything more than they were, no roster of professors and music experts and somber social commentators weighing in. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleWham! tells a sweet story, but also a goofy and entertaining one, because these guys were more ’80s than anybody, more even than “Miami Vice” and Duran Duran. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreSmith has made a film that’s not unlike Wham!’s hits — bouncy, light and frothy, nothing that demands anything of the viewer and listener other than a smile. |
| The New York TimesWesley MorrisNothing here’s overthought or pumped up. To invoke the words of a different beacon of catchiness, “Wham!” is a teenage dream. You could drink it from a coconut. |
| NMENick LevineThis feature-length documentary makes for affecting viewing because it tells the duo’s incredible success story through the lens of their rock-solid friendship. |
