In his compelling new film 20 FEET FROM STARDOM, award-winning director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century. Triumphant and heartbreaking in equal measure, the film is both a tribute to the unsung voices who brought shape and style to popular music and a reflection on the conflicts, sacrifices and rewards of a career spent harmonizing with others. These gifted artists span a range of styles, genres and eras of popular music, but each has a uniquely fascinating and personal story to share of life spent in the shadows of superstardom. Along with rare archival footage and a peerless soundtrack, 20 FEET FROM STARDOM boasts intimate interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting to name just a few. However, these world-famous figures take a backseat to the diverse array of backup singers whose lives and stories take center stage in the film.

20 Feet From Stardom Movie Review | |
| I have rarely seen a movie that better expressed the revivifying nature of music. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor In a film that's often sad but not without its triumphs, director Morgan Neville smartly explores the complex role that ego and self-promotion play in this profession. Sara Stewart-New York Post When any one of these women steps up to the microphone - well, they really soar. And they carry us along with them. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Their voices are powerful enough to tear you apart and put you back together again, and their stories will do the same. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times This generous, fascinating documentary about the careers of backup singers, most of them African-American women, seeks to rewrite the history of pop music by focusing attention on voices at once marginal and vital. A.O. Scott-New York Times They perform with world-famous musical acts, but theirs are not household names. Their stories, however, are inspiring, heartbreaking and enthralling. Claudia Puig-USA Today With its pulsating soundtrack and compelling subject matter 20 Feet from Stardom is an exuberant celebration of some of modern music's most invaluable and unsung heroines. Diva Velez-TheDivaReview.com 20 Feet from Stardom has it all -- electric, revelatory stories, engaging personalities, and a gusto that takes you higher and higher. Michael Sragow-Orange County Register The rich Rhythm and Blues music of rock's early days is the best of the best. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews Its stories are so rich in detail -- and, alternately, humor, heartache and triumph -- that one will leave never quite being able to listen to the FM dial in quite the same way. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness If you think the music industry is based on talent, think again, because some of the most dynamic singers in the business are virtual unknowns... Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews Regardless of musical preference, this worthwhile documentary that pays tribute to backup singers is a crowd-pleaser. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Want a feel-good movie this summer? Have I got the DOCUMENTARY for you! Pete Hammond-Movieline A musical and historical treasure, a deep reflection on the vagaries of fame. Candid and moving, 20 Feet From Stardom is an unforgettable portrayal of some magnificent performers. Jason Gorber-Twitch A must see for anyone interested in the crossroads between performing talent and business. Jordan Hoffman-ScreenCrush Above all, the movie works thanks to its doggedly personal focus, with the subjects given a rare chance to shape their own narratives. Robert Levin-amNewYork The pantheon gets its overdue spotlight in Morgan Neville's "Twenty Feet From Stardom," a documentary nearly as glorious as the voices it celebrates. Greg Evans-Bloomberg News Neville doesn't dwell unduly on the vicissitudes of fame; he's more concerned with celebrating his subjects' accomplishments and giving them a(nother) chance through new recordings on which they sing both backup and lead. Sam Adams-AV Club | |
