Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter In a music doc landscape pocked with overwrought hagiographies, The Makings of Curtis Mayfield does distinguish itself. Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety What I miss seeing in too many music documentaries is a deep critical appreciation of the artist in question. And that’s what H.E.R. brings to this movie in abundance. Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Christian Zilko IndieWire The [title] doesn’t quite fit the substance of the film, which ultimately says less about the things that shaped Mayfield than the people his music shaped. Rated: B Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) I left feeling like I didn't get to know Curtis Mayfield that well. A lot of H.E.R. talking about how great the songs are with her friends Mar 23, 2025 Full Review Alan French FandomWire H.E.R. crafts a flashy directorial debut with some bold choices. However, too many talking heads hurts The Makings of Curtis Mayfield stay focused. Rated: 6/10 Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic H.E.R. directs a personal deep dive leaving audiences with the desire to jump down the rabbit hole of Mayfield's soundtracks, lyrics and musical catalog encouraging all to be wrapped in The Makings of Curtis Mayfield for new generations to come.
