Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Staid and conventional, this mostly chronological trot through Berry's career highs and criminal lows leaves you wondering how such a fluent talent could be so discordantly repurposed. Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Sean P. Means The Movie Cricket When the documentary is working well, it's because Brewer focuses on the music, and how Berry kept playing through all of his life's ups and downs, reminding the world who put the swagger in rock 'n' roll. Rated: 3/4 Oct 2, 2020 Full Review Peter Sobczynski eFilmCritic.com Chuck Berry is a reasonably satisfactory bit of cinematic motorvating. Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies [T]he movie's focus ... is so broad that we only come away with vague pieces of the man. Rated: 2/4 Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Chuck Berry: The Original King of Rock 'n' Roll doesn't break any new ground in the genre. This doesn't matter because the film celebrates a musical legend. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Wendy Shreve Featuring Film For in the end, the King should never be forgotten--The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame chose Chuck Berry as their first inductee for a reason.
