  • 20 Feet From Stardom (2013)
    Review preview for 20 Feet From Stardom

    This is great stuff - a fantastic musical documentary.

    Andrew Robertson · 4.5 out of 5
    Backing singers tell their stories.
  • Amazing Grace (2018)
    Review preview for Amazing Grace

    One doesn't need to be religious to find something ineffable not just in the music itself but in the way it is expressed.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    Concert film about the recording of Aretha Franklin's Amazing Grace album.
  • Bent (1997)
    Review preview for Bent

    The film is arguably not very technically sophisticated or stylistically consistent... but these faults are compensated for by actors Owen and Bluteau, who essentially carry the film alone for its second half.

    Owen Van Spall · 3 out of 5
    The plight of a gay man at the hands of the Nazis.
  • The Man From Elysian Fields (2001)
    Review preview for The Man From Elysian Fields

    The plot is quirky, which means it has potential. Sadly, credibility sinks into a mire of sentiment.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2.5 out of 5
    A struggling writer becomes an escort to make ends meet.
  • Moonwalker (1988)
    Review preview for Moonwalker

    Some of Jackson's strongest songs are featured here and there are some terrific dance performances.

    Jennie Kermode · 2 out of 5
    A series of musical performances by Michael Jackson intercut with a story about a drug dealer.
  • Performance (1970)
    Review preview for Performance

    Not so much a linear story of one man's adventures as an enquiry into the nature of performance, gender and the very structure of society.

    Jennie Kermode · 4.5 out of 5
    A gangster on the run hides out in a hippie household and starts to lose his grip on his identity.
  • The Rutles: All You Need is Cash (1978)
    Review preview for The Rutles: All You Need is Cash

    It must be said that time has not been kind to this film.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3 out of 5
    Pastiche rockumentary of The Beatles.
  • The Session Man (2023)
    Review preview for The Session Man

    This is very much a film for musicians, and the more familiar you are with the art of composition, the more you’ll get out of it.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    The story of pianist and unsung hero Nicky Hopkins, who played with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Kinks and many more.
  • Shine A Light (2008)
    Review preview for Shine A Light

    Not a film about lyrics. Not a documentary about these extraordinary long careers. Just a big, brilliant concert.

    Chris · 3.5 out of 5
    Documentary of the rock legends, with footage from their A Bigger Bang Tour.
  • Sympathy For The Devil (1968)
    Review preview for Sympathy For The Devil

    Although not really a film for any but the most dedicated of Stones fans, Sympathy For The Devil provides intimate insights into their workings as a band.

    Chris · 4.5 out of 5
    Documentary about music and the counterculture in the late Sixties.
  • World In Action: Volume 1 (2005)
    Review preview for World In Action: Volume 1

    It's fascinating to see these events as portrayed at the time, rather than in hindsight.

    Andrea Mullaney · 4 out of 5
    Hard-hitting documentary series.
