Eric Henderson Slant Magazine If I chose to write a review of That's the Way of the World the length of which accurately reflected the duration of its star attraction Earth, Wind & Fire, I should have stopped writing two clauses ago. Rated: .5/4 Jul 20, 2006 Full Review Jacoba Atlas Los Angeles Free Press Predictable stuff really, and boringly so. Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com World has much to share on the topic of corruption and the burn of self-preservation, articulated with a wonderfully combative atmosphere and a distinct groove. Rated: B- Feb 28, 2014 Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com It's a movie that could have been made thirty years earlier or thirty years later without losing an ounce of its relevancy. Rated: 4/5 Jul 18, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
