What others think

Questlove turns to some of the surviving musicians (and other celebrities) to offer commentary while looking at the material again all these years later, but the most touching moments come from concertgoers who were simply kids from the neighborhood reflecting on a transformative summer.
Jordan Hoffman The Guardian
Questlove has an expert musicality to his filmmaking and conducts image, music and thesis with a fast paced rhythm.
Leila Latif Little White Lies
Sonically flawless, authentically textured and deep-rooted in cultural significance, Summer Of Soul succeeds magnificently in capturing the scale, spiritual resonance and, yes, soul of the Harlem Cultural Festival.
