      Max Nelson Film Comment Magazine The resulting film is low-key and, at least as far as its subject is concerned, decidedly uncritical. Nov 4, 2013 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times "Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer" could be slicker, but it does its part in sharing in its central figure's project of recording the living history that surrounds us. Rated: 3/5 Aug 1, 2013 Full Review Calum Marsh Village Voice Ahearn works at a distinct disadvantage: Present to document the book's reception rather than its genesis, he has no direct access to the vibrant past about which his subjects reminisce, leaving him to merely coast on the iconography of Shabazz's work. Jul 30, 2013 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Seattle Film Blog On the basis of the slightly faded, if arresting images that dance across the screen, [Jamel Shabazz] was also capturing style: Kangol caps, Puma kicks, Lee jeans, Double Goose jackets, and other markers of NYC cool. Rated: 3/4 Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian There are many potent sequences where old-school B-boys look through Shabazz's work and see friends they knew -- and sometimes lost -- a lifetime ago. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 12, 2013 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Taken in its entirety, this celebration of a pioneering visionary-who never knew that he was one at the time-is a highly worthy endeavor.
