Reviews for this film from our members:
- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: Il film di Malik Bendjelloul è molto più di un ritratto d’artista, è la storia di un uomo semplice, costretto dalla vita ad abbandonare i propri sogni ed a rendere muta la propria voce, ma capace di insegnare ai figli che attraverso la verità e la bellezza dell’arte si possono abbattere le barriere culturali, economiche e sociali.

- Excerpt: There are certain trajectories that we expect rock ‘n’ roll stories to take. The documentary Searching for Sugar Man offers us a different narrative entirely: of the never-was who became the biggest name in music to a certain group of people without ever knowing it.
