Add a CommentWow! This documentary has an incredibly subtle wallop. A masterpiece by a first-time film maker. Be sure to check out the commentary after you've seen the film. One of the best films I have seen in the past years. It works so well because it follows no formula- a unique experience!
Don't hesitate - watch this film!!
This is a great film - an amazing story about a humble and very cool musician and human being.
A very sad story but wonderfully told. This man's music helped bring down aparthied........but he never gained any recognition in the USA.....I was in awe watching this. I am shocked and saddened. An unbelievable story!!! But absolutely true.....
Certainly the most overrated movie of the year, and the hyperbole offered for the first 30 minutes is ridiculous. I also would have liked more about Rodriguez' early performing career. The movie's midsection about South Africa was the most interesting part.
For the first 15 minutes or so, I thought I wouldn't be able to sit through the entire documentary (as that kind of music makes me just postal)...but then the amazing story had me gripped. Just awesome! I wonder how many people like Sixto Rodriguez are out there. Just beautiful.
This was a fantastic documentary and an incredible story.
astonishingly good!!!!!
Brilliant film of which one of the most unassuming people is the unwitting star
Wonderful documentary of unknown superstar. Does rock n roll superstardom have to lead to a life of excess? Watch this doc. and find out.
