Review of Paul Simon: Under African Skies (2012) by Michael S — 16 May 2012

A remarkable film. Yes, the music is great and the story compelling. But the pacing of this film is excellent and the takeaway -- that music can bring divergent cultures and political perspectives together -- is heartwarming and important.

I see a fair number of films and this one ranks up there with one of the best of 2012 for thoughtfulness, heart and great music. The audience applauded at the end of the film and stayed all the way through the credits -- that's the sign of a good film.

It will likely get limited release so you may have to search for it, but definitely worth seeing.
