Reviews
You get both the most lovely gaze a professional camera's ever laid upon Aretha Franklin and some of the mightiest singing she's ever laid on you.
Wesley Morris, New York Times
'Amazing Grace' is two days of Baptist church condensed to 90 minutes and injected directly into your soul.
Odie Henderson, RogerEbert.com
As a document of an iconic musician's skills, the film is essential. But Amazing Grace is far more than that: Watching it is a transcendent, spine-tingling, uplifting, utterly joyous experience.
