Critic Reviews

  • Chris Foran, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

    Is there a method to Perry's madness, or is it just madness? In "The Upsetter," it's hard to say.

  • Andrew Matson, Seattle Times

    As far as music eccentrics go, it's hard to find a better documentary subject than Lee "Scratch" Perry, the man who pioneered reggae music and invented its offshoot dub in Jamaica in the 1970s.
