Maya Angelou And Still I Rise Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
Kate Erbland
Angelou herself is the star, one who is more riveting and original sitting in a chair, reciting the story of her life, than this -- or most, really -- documentary could ever hope to be on its own.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Angelou's epic journey - from a mute girl in segregated Arkansas to an icon of civil rights, literature and entertainment - could easily be a 10-part miniseries.
Uncle Barky
Ed Bark
And Still I Rise mostly soars, though, on the wings of Maya Angelou's own words and recollections. She lived a multifaceted life for the ages, overcoming a wealth of indignities while also rising above her own considerable faults and frailties.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
More in-depth history report than a piece of art, Maya Angelou and Still I Rise is a collection of fascinating information without style.
Newsday
Tom Beer
Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise takes a conventional cradle-to-grave approach to its subject, but it succeeds as a vivid and moving portrait of an African-American icon.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
The large amount of original interview footage, with the woman herself as insightful as ever, will delight her fans, and anybody unfamiliar with her work will find this a fascinating place to start.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
It's easy to fall into thinking of the late Maya Angelou as something of a national grandmother when she was so much more than that. Thankfully, Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise, is here to correct that misconception.
Shadow and Act
Aramide Tinubu
Through interviews, archival footage, and her written words, Dr. Maya Angelou effectively tells her own story in this film.
Essence
Lisa Kennedy
And Still I Rise is a portrait of an artist who was well aware of the spell she could cast with that voice, that towering height, that gaze. It is also a film mindful of the deep truths -- the desires and wounds -- buttressing that persona.
New York Times
Ken Jaworowski
It's hard not to be inspired by a life this well lived.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
If this adulatory "American Masters" production elides certain chapters of Angelou's biography, it nonetheless offers ample evidence of her commanding intensity and of her importance as an unwavering voice of the black experience.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
As this spirited documentary shows, the rise of poet, author, and activist Maya Angelou was anything but meteoric.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
The famed African-American poet and memoirist is profiled in this solid if conventional docu.
Bay Area Reporter
David-Elijah Nahmod
A lovely portrait of who Angelou was behind closed doors.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
The subject Maya Angelou, this intelligent, insightful artist, speaks for itself. My Life as a Film pursues a provocative question.
Newcity
Ray Pride
Powerful accomplishment, capturing in under two hours a comprehensive sense of the work the poet, author and activist made, and the life she lived fully in her eighty-six years.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An extraordinary portrait of the soulful and versatile African-American icon.
Baret News
Kam Williams
A poignant portrait of a sex abuse survivor's unlikely path from abandoned street urchin to consummate poet laureate!
The Curvy Film Critic
Carla Renata
Thanks to Rita Coburn Whack and Bob Hercules, we will forever have an archive of the deep, beautiful tones that could only inhabit Maya Angelou
