Review of Hearing Is Believing (2017) by Joshua A — 07 May 2018

This film introduced me to an astounding young woman who plays piano like Keith Emerson, Herbie Hancock, or Rachmaninoff; guitar like Zappa or Robert Fripp or John McLaughlin; bass like Jaco Pastorius or John Wetton; and several other instruments with equal mastery.

More importantly, as a player, vocalist, and composer, Flowers combines her encyclopedic repertoire of classical, jazz, R&B and rock into a completely original, mesmerizing and joyful sound. "Hearing is Believing" is not flashy or melodramatic, but that seems to be the point: to show us how an unassuming young woman from a modest background has faced daunting physical challenges to emerge as a musical tour de force on the global stage.
