      Audience Member A great documentary for a great musician/producer. It takes a lot of guts to move back and forth through a man's life without it feeling disjointed. These film makers make it happen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review pierluigi p The life of record producer, composer, arranger, etc. Quincy Jones has been very interesting. I would have rated it higher only if I could have understand what all that people was saying, despite having a lot of famous faces and great footage, the montage is messy and feels jumpy, but it had all the potential to be a great documentary, it just needed a competent editor. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
