TOMATOMETER
5 stars out of 5 -- [A]n important slice of cultural history, an expression of Black joy, and probably the best concert you’ll never go to.
Empire
SUMMER OF SOUL blasts the viewer with color and style before a single note is played. And the music itself is electrifying, with goosebump-inducing moments...
A.V. Club
It’s got its own rhythm. The images, the music, the news, the reminiscences, the commentary often come at you at once.
New York Times
It’s a music documentary like no other, because while it’s a joyful, cataclysmic, and soulfully seductive concert movie, what it’s really about is a key turning point in Black life in America.
Variety
