Amazing Grace's reviews
Media reviews
Roger Ebert
To paraphrase another gospel standard, if we ever needed this film before, we sure do need it now.
Rolling Stone
A film/concert that enters figure from already among the best that have ever been made, including Scorsese´s 'The Last Waltz, and 'Stop Making Sense', by Jonathan Demme.
The Guardian
Elliott?s Lazarus-like resurrection of Pollack?s movie captures both the hive of musical activity and fervour or religious ecstasy that thronged through that church all those years ago.
The Hollywood Reporter
As astonishing as the sound of Franklin's singing in 1972 remains, watching her do it is even better.
The Wrap
?Amazing Grace? is a movie worth seeing and re-seeing and re-seeing again, a testament to the Queen of Soul at the height of her powers, live, in full color, in rich sound, resplendent.
New York Times
When Tabaluga meets the beautiful ice princess Lilli, more than just a great friendship emerges.
Los Angeles Times
Franklin?s voice remains so pure and galvanic that [this] is one of the few movies you could watch with your eyes closed, though you would hardly want to.
Variety
Looks like a rough diamond that´s come out of a time capsule. An essential film featuring the recording of one of the best gospel records.
Screen Daily
It's a religious experience and it's a treasure. The film is almost all music from start to finish. And music is what makes it special.
Rolling Stone
A wonderful testament to Franklin's unmatched skill as a singer. An indispensable visual accompaniment to the disc.
