The Black Godfather Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
Excellent docu on showbiz legend, lots of cursing.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Avant's skin color is one aspect of his inspiring story, for sure, but the heart inside "The Black Godfather" - and the ways an honorable soul with personal power can effect meaningful change - spins its own joyful melody.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
This is a predictably uncritical portrait, one whose constant stream of praise would be tiresome if these stories weren't so unfamiliar to most viewers.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The anecdotes are gold.
Variety
Andrew Barker
Does yeoman's work introducing a figure that few outsiders have likely heard of, but who needs no introduction in the power corridors of the entertainment industry.
The Curvy Film Critic
Carla Renata
Imagine Janet Jackson's signature sound without the beats of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Imagine if Soul Train had been buried by a Dick Clark knockoff. Thanks to The Black Godfather- Clarence Avant we don't have to! Kudos to Netflix and Reggie Hudlin
