Thank documentarian Carina Bijlsma for the candid glimpse at a musical innovator who should be called a genius.

Rated: 3.5/4

Pitchfork

It is sympathetic of a man who was not emotionally equipped for the kind of spotlight he was thrown into. As a documentary, it's fairly standard.

Culture Mix

Devil's Pie is what it is -- a niche documentary made in a conventional (but not bad) way that might not have much appeal outside of die-hard D'Angelo fans.

The Digital Fix

Brief and a little stale in terms of presentation, but it offers some insight into the mystery of D'Angelo and the difficulties facing musicians in the spotlight.

Rated: 8/10

An intimate portrait of an artist that many consider mysterious.

It's unclear by film's end if we'll ever really get to hear more from D'Angelo, but at least it also reminds us to be grateful for what he's given us.
