Ross McIndoe Slant Magazine I Heard It Through the Grapevine makes the political personal at every turn. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills No wonder Baldwin’s purview, in recollection, observation and conversation alike, is sorrowful. Shot in 1980, Grapevine sees the battles hard-won not many years earlier stealthily reversed by a System that hardly been defeated after all. Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News It's road movie structure, tracing Baldwin’s travels in the south during 1980, is also a trip through time. Directors Dick Fontaine and Pat Hartley nimbly edited together what was present-day footage of Baldwin’s conversations and public appearances. Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
