Buena Vista Social Club: Adios Ratings & Reviews
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Less a sequel and more a deluxe edition of the first film Buena Vista Social Club: Adiós is a worthy companion to the original film and well worth seeking out.
Uproxx
Scott Tobias
Adios feels both disorganized and unnecessary, like an encore staged after the house lights have gone up and most of the audience has exited the building.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Emotional, crowd-pleasing sequel to popular documentary.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Unfortunately, Lucy Walker's "Buena Vista Social Club: Adios" plays more like a well-intentioned but unsatisfying addendum to Wenders' movie and Cooder's recording.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
After Adios, many longtime fans will want to chase the taste away with a stiff shot of the old stuff.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Despite any shackles, social or otherwise, music will always serve as a mode of liberation, an expression of love, and Buena Vista Social Club: Adios passionately asserts that idea.
Chicago Sun-Times
Laura Emerick
Ultimately, Adios transcends politics and proves once again that music knows no boundaries.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
Adios is less engaging than Walker's earlier work, with little of the poeticism she displayed in Waste Land and The Crash Reel. It surely doesn't help that she's stuck picking through Wenders' leftovers ...
Film Journal International
André Hereford
A cluttered rear-view of a cultural phenomenon, and a fond farewell to some of the Cuban music pioneers that inspired it.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"When you remember something," one of the group members says at one point, "it's because your spirit is in it." And there's plenty of spirit kicking around inside "Buena Vista Social Club: Adios."
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Adios just feels inessential-more of a bloated DVD supplement (it would have been perfect, in shorter form, for the recent Criterion release of Wenders' film) than a proper movie in its own right.
Nonfics (Substack)
Landon Palmer
...for a musical project so ripe with history and history making, especially in the face of a changing Cuba, these subjects deserve a film with a clearer idea of what it has to say.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
Lucy Walker's film is at its most incisive when it explores the historical development of son music.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Both an exemplary sequel and a vital, informative companion piece.
