John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter It's a welcome primer for those who are new to Pryor's career, but old fans might be better off sitting down with some of the comedy records. Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Jesse James Miller's biographical documentary is a conventional but fascinating portrait of the self-destructive comic great. Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site I Am Richard Pryor presents a sincere and moving account of the comedian/actor's life and career. Aug 6, 2020 Full Review Bryan Rolli The Daily Dot I Am Richard Pryor is an informative, compelling documentary that only suffers slightly from its conventional structure. Rated: 3/5 Mar 19, 2019 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Skims over a lot of stuff... Watch Richard Pryor: Omit The Logic, instead. Mar 18, 2019 Full Review Jamie Broadnax Black Girl Nerds Pryor told unfiltered stories about his addiction, abuse, and encountering racism through his comedy. He literally used the pain of his past and present and turned it into power on the stage with a microphone. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
