Reviews 20 Feet From Stardom Movie and Watch Full HD Format

Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. In his compelling new film 20 FEET FROM STARDOM, award-winning director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century. Triumphant and heartbreaking in equal measure, the film is both a tribute to the unsung voices who brought shape and style to popular music and a reflection on the conflicts, sacrifices and rewards of a career spent harmonizing with others. These gifted artists span a range of styles, genres and eras of popular music, but each has a uniquely fascinating and personal story to share of life spent in the shadows of superstardom. Along with rare archival footage and a peerless soundtrack, 20 FEET FROM STARDOM boasts intimate interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting to name just a few. However, these world-famous figures take a backseat to the diverse array of backup singers whose lives and stories take center stage in the film. (c) TWC-Radius

Review For 20 Feet From Stardom

The movie takes its cues from Standing in the Shadows of Motown, another act of pop-culture revisionism that tried to give musical credit where it was due.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader

Just about everything in this movie is right. And anybody who gives a rip about unsung heroines of popular music and giving credit when credit's overdue had better come up with a good excuse not to see it.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune

You may never hear the Rolling Stones's Gimme Shelter the same way again after hearing Jagger's and Clayton's separate accounts of the recording of the song.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail

The enthusiasm and love of music on display is just unavoidable. "20 Feet" may not get the whole story, but it gets some good ones.
Tom Long-Detroit News

Music documentarian Morgan Neville uses a mix of live interviews and archival footage to let the singers, and their music, tell their stories of vocal triumph and thwarted ambition.
Barbara VanDenburgh-Arizona Republic

You know all those doo-doo-doos and whoa-whoas-whoas you hear in pop hits? Without them, supplied by the likes of Darlene Love and Merry Clayton, you likely wouldn't be singing along to the songs you hear on your car radio.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star

All of these special ladies -- most of them ironically unsung and often exploited -- obviously know their way around a microphone
John Urbancich-Sun Newspapers of Cleveland

A heartfelt and rousing documentary tribute to the talent and artistry of female backup singers.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

I guess it leaves us with the message not everyone is destined to be a star, for one reason or another.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Although a few white and male backup singers appear, the film becomes a de facto chronicle of the experiences of many African-American women in show business, who -- like their counterparts in less high-profile jobs -- often are undervalued and exploited.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

In a way, critics are the backup singers of film.
Tony Macklin-tonymacklin.net

20 Feet From Stardom will be highly entertaining to anyone who ever let a needle drop into a '70s-era groove.
Katherine Monk-Canada.com

Neville does a good job of highlighting songs that are especially characterized by backup singers, like Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side,' and introducing us to some of the 'unsung' talent that made those hits possible.
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews

This fantastic glimpse into the lives of background singers, old and new, directed by Morgan Neville, is completely mesmerizing.
Jeanne Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan

It is a total pleasure, a rare treat, to listen and watch old footage of these indispensable performers belt out their melodies and harmonies. They are truly pioneers that helped shape the world of music for generations to come.
David Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan

This is a fascinating doc for pop, soul, R&B and rock fans, for it peels back the often unfair layers of the music business like the skins on an onion. Sometimes, it'll make you cry to witness how terribly these talents were treated.
Dann Gire-Daily Herald (IL)

It's important to finally put names and faces to the voices of these women because, without them, countless songs would sound horrible.
Vanessa Farquharson-National Post

Neville's greatest strength is as a historian, able to sort through a wealth of details to find the pieces he needs to tell one clear, compelling story.
Noel Murray-The Dissolve

Salutes songs that wouldn't work without the back-ups and, in effect, turn us all into back-up singers.
Matt Pais-RedEye

Not the deepest documentary you're likely to come across this year -- in fact, it's not deep at all -- but it may well be the most enjoyable one.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

The transcendent joy and agonizing heartbreak of making music - and trying to make it in music - have seldom been captured as vividly as in "20 Feet from Stardom."
George Varga-San Diego Union-Tribune
