Sign O’ the Times is as much a masterpiece on film as it is on record.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

[The film] was directed by Prince, and he does a good, sound job without finding an answer to the problem of all directors of rock concert films: After you have exhausted the basic repertory of obvious shots and audience reactions, what do you do then?

Rated: 3/4

Dave Kehr

Chicago Tribune

The utopian rocker, whose manner and music promise a blissful, dreamy union of the races and the sexes, doesn`t need a story line to communicate his meanings, which remain by pop standards unusually complex and considered.

Rated: 3/4

The Crisis

When doing what he does best -- perform -- Prince is as exciting as any T.V. or movie personality, but what makes Times as successful as it is are the other elements he surrounds himself with.

... a sad reminder of how much music lost when Prince Rogers Nelson took the ladder to the big erotic city up in the sky.

This film doesn't get the credit it deserves. One of the best concert films. It captures Prince at his finest and the band was purely bad-ass.
