Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer Ratings & Reviews
Oregonian
Jamie S. Rich
There are many potent sequences where old-school B-boys look through Shabazz's work and see friends they knew -- and sometimes lost -- a lifetime ago.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
"Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer" could be slicker, but it does its part in sharing in its central figure's project of recording the living history that surrounds us.
Film Comment Magazine
Max Nelson
The resulting film is low-key and, at least as far as its subject is concerned, decidedly uncritical.
Village Voice
Calum Marsh
Ahearn works at a distinct disadvantage: Present to document the book's reception rather than its genesis, he has no direct access to the vibrant past about which his subjects reminisce, leaving him to merely coast on the iconography of Shabazz's work.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Taken in its entirety, this celebration of a pioneering visionary-who never knew that he was one at the time-is a highly worthy endeavor.
Seattle Film Blog
Kathy Fennessy
On the basis of the slightly faded, if arresting images that dance across the screen, [Jamel Shabazz] was also capturing style: Kangol caps, Puma kicks, Lee jeans, Double Goose jackets, and other markers of NYC cool.
