The film wanted for grit, and for context. Where we needed Johnny Marr, we got only James Corden. Where we could have done with a Simon Reynolds-style figure, we had to make do with a nodding Mark Ronson.

For all of Freedom: George Michael I just didn't know what I was watching.

Rated: 2/5

The Atlantic

The documentary's heavy emphasis on the early-to-mid '90s has the marked feel of someone taking stock of their memories and curating their desired legacy. Which, of course, is the prerogative of an authorized, posthumous, hour-and-a-half documentary.

Freedom Uncut’s biggest reveal is just how influential Michael was. When the opening credits feature both Kate Moss and a cover from Adele, you know you’re talking about someone who has made an impact.

Rated: 3/5

The Herald (Scotland)

[Viewers are] familiar with the art of doing several things at the same time; in this case, wiggling the shoulders to a beat while padding down memory lane, totting up how many terrific songs Michael had written and performed.

Love love loved this movie!! Seeing parts of his personal life and pain he went thru just broke my heart even more for George. Loved that he was so vulnerable and open.

Finally true fans get their fix for George's story in his own words. The best documentary by far. Very insightful and full of heart just like our George. I will always miss him and love him for his time with us.

Really good insite into Michael. Would like to see a doc that covers his entire life however. This one ended in the early 2000. Very honest and he narrates the entire doc. Amazing artist but another self serving dummy who goes after his record company....and loses. Regardless worth a watch for sure.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
