Review of 20 Feet from Stardom (2013) by Joel M — 02 Jan 2015
The Oscar-winning documentary "20 Feet from Stardom" does a credible job in depicting the highs & lows of past & present background singers. And while non-music fans might think "20 Feet from Stardom" is more like "20 scenes of Boredom", it still authentically highlights the much underrated role of the background singer. There are many heavy-hitting recording artists that speak of their background singers; those artists include Mick Jagger, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Bette Midler, Bruce Springsteen and others; not too shabby of a lineup. But the real voice of "20 Feet From Stardom" is when Writer-Director Morgan Neville interviews the background singers and they reveal their incredible elevator rides in their careers. OK, that was my high pitch for "20 Feet From Stardom".
**** Good.
