July 16, 2009It is very interesting. Would like to see it. Seeing the entertainers in their productive time is great. As James Brown and Miriam Makeba is no longer with us, and to see Muhammad Ali without Parkinson. That is a joy in itself.

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
The sporadic appearances by Ali hopelessly unbalance the proceedings, his fiercely outspoken interviews providing the only morsels of substance. full review
