Review of Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002) by J. Hoberman for Village Voice — 12 Nov 2002
Justman's affectionate doc provides the pleasure of hearing one classic pop hook after another performed by a still tight unit, as well as the spectacle of veteran sidemen sitting around talking music.
(The movie would have benefited from more period footage and fewer restaged scenes.).
