The real review

Questlove's documentary on Earth, Wind & Fire leans heavily positive, thanks largely to its incredible archival visuals, people are blown away by the band's restored footage. The film, which digs into the legacy of Philip Bailey, Verdine White, and the late Maurice White, is packed with star power like Barack Obama and Stevie Wonder, but the director's own storytelling approach splits opinion, with some finding it a bit unfocused. While the band's music and impact are celebrated, the overall feeling is that this is more of a polished, loving tribute than a groundbreaking new take.
