Amazing Grace Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
The work as it stands now has considerable merit as a document recorded during a watershed period of the American civil rights movement. As a concert film, it's elevated by Franklin's powerhouse three-octave range and soulful phrasing.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
The long-buried concert film is a tremendously powerful tribute to Aretha Franklin.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
In Amazing Grace, Aretha Franklin transcends the blues by saying a little prayer - or singing one - for all of us.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
87 minutes of pure joy/
Vice
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
Even though her legacy has been deeply embedded within pop culture, this is a new side of her that the film lets us witness.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Sydney Pollack's unfinished documentary, unearthed and reassembled after nearly 50 years, is a priceless gift to music fans.
Out Magazine
Tre'vell Anderson
Amazing Grace is a reminder that spirituality is deeply personal.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jon Bream
You don't need to be a churchgoer to find "Amazing Grace" a soul-stirring, foot-stomping, hand-raising experience.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
It's an act of cinematic resurrection if ever there was one.
Austin Chronicle
Michael King
Among the truly transcendent geniuses in American music, the late Aretha Franklin is surely high in the pantheon, and this concert delivers her in all her glory.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Her voice could lift people straight out of their seats in jubilation; her vocal flourishes and deep readings of the simplest, most elemental lyrics remain incomparable.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Franklin died last year, but her voice lives on in anyone who's heard it. In this joyous, unforgettable film, she'll never grow old.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
In "Amazing Grace," Franklin's vocals are pristine and elastic, her control of her instrument absolute.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It stands as a mighty historical document, a balm to the soul, and proof of genius.
Polygon
Karen Han
As divine as the album is, actually seeing Franklin perform - in perfect voice and perfectly poised - and basking in the reactions of the gathered audience (including Mick Jagger, on the session's second night) creates an entirely new experience.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
A rollicking, profound testament, not only to the quality of Franklin's performance, which the recording already gave us, but to the intangibles that are better seen than heard.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Amazing Grace, featuring Aretha Franklin at the height of her powers, is one of the greatest concert documentaries ever made. It reaches so far into transcendence that watching it becomes an almost ecstatic experience.
AV Club
Vikram Murthi
An evergreen tribute to one of America's finest singers, Amazing Grace, like its subject, is one of a kind.
Shadow and Act
Aramide Tinubu
Amazing Grace might not be the movie that Aretha Franklin expected, but it's the film that music lovers, believers, and everyone else desperately needs to see.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Amazing Grace is best when her face, sweaty and blissful in song, fills the frame. She nearly glows.
