As a fan of improvisational music myself, the 88 minutes of this movie constituted a too-short heaven on earth. I'd binge on an expanded series, honestly.

Hollywood Reporter

Featuring past and recent interviews with many of the key figures and generous doses of archival photographs and vintage performance footage, the film should be on any serious music lover's must-see list.

It's a no-brainer for anybody who listens to experimental music. But the film's success isn't just about content; it's about how this challenging music is translated to a visual medium.

Rated: 80/100

Illuminating, but just mildly engaging without transcending its subject matter like more powerful and moving music docs manage to do.

There's plenty in Fire Music for both free jazz aficionados and neophytes, but there's no doubt this is a doc that gives this music its due

Rated: 4/5
