Review of 20 Feet from Stardom (2013) by Tony G — 27 Apr 2014
Entertaining look at the world of backup singers, "20 Feet From Stardom" is a treat. The best moments are when the performers' faces are in full frame as they listen to their old recording - the memories flying in their minds.
The documentary touches on the highs and the lows of the music business for these performers and never fails to entertain. The only issue with "Stardom" is how it jumps from interview to interview leaving very little time for facts to sink in and to settle - you get to know the major players but the minor players that are extensively interviews aren't given much chance to connect.
Yet "20 Feet From Stardom" proves to be an in-tune documentary that proudly wears its heart on its sleeve.
