(1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 75% Fresh Page   1   1.5/4 "There are suckers out there for the film's brand of shrink-wrapped nostalgia. I'm not one of them."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers 2/5 "Totally overwrought, deeply biased, and wholly designed to make you feel guilty about ignoring what the filmmakers clearly believe are The Greatest Musicians of All Time."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 61/100 "The cheap and easy recycling of old myths and superficial treatment given the significant social milieu of the time is startling."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine 3/5 "As a documentary, Motown isn’t all that great. But as a celebration of music, it’s absolutely incredible."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 3/4 "...guaranteed to turn Motown neophytes into fans."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C+ "The documentary makes no waves and tries to be as upbeat as the musicians it tells about."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz B "Fans of all types of popular music will find it irreplaceable."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "Quite simply, a joy to watch and--especially--to listen to."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek B+ "Guaranteed to move anyone who ever shook, rattled, or rolled."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 4/5 "Unsung heroes of some of pop music's finest moments get to stand up and be counted in this documentary/concert/tribute."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 "Director Paul Justman hits all the right notes."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 4/5 "I know that I'll never listen to Marvin Gaye or the Supremes the same way again"   ToxicUniverse.com   John A. Nesbit 2.5/5 "While Shadows is a great tribute, it is a poor documentary. They are just as elusive and unknown as before."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 4/4 "I got so involved with the Funk Brothers that by the last half hour the musical numbers brought tears to my eyes."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 3/4 "A loving tribute to the forgotten legends of Motown."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik B "The real star of this movie is the music. It makes you want to get up and dance in the aisles."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "Some kind of peace of mind"   Nitrate Online   Cynthia Fuchs  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 75% Fresh Page   1
