Wham! Ratings & Reviews
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
I used to think of Andrew Ridgeley, one half of the pop duo Wham!, as this lucky guy who had hitched his cart to George Michael. Turns out, the real story is far more interesting.
IN Magazine
Matthew Creith
For anyone that might not know about Wham! and what made this band special, WHAM! is a worthwhile documentary to watch for its presentation of a musical act struggling with fame.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
I enjoyed this film and learned quite a lot about Wham!
Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)
André Hereford
Netflix's bouncy 'Wham!' offers an inside account of the '80s duo's meteoric rise, sudden end, and not much else.
The Playlist
Brian Farvour
It's safe to say that, given the arc Smith's filmography has demonstrated over the better part of the past thirty years, "Wham!" fits in perfectly..
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A nostalgic and highly entertaining musical documentary.
Movie Marker Magazine
Christopher Connor
Wham! will, of course, please fans of the duo and George Michael but will also offer plenty for casual viewers wanting to learn more about one of Britain's biggest musical exports of the 1980s; full of heart and charm and plenty of humour.
The Pink Lens
Ben Turner
A feel-good buddy movie, drenched in the Piña Colada-optimism of the 1980s, fizzing with all the youthful exuberance of an unabashedly teenage zeitgeist.
Common Sense Media
Kat Halstead
Lighthearted documentary captures the youthful energy of the band as they set out to conquer the world.
Collider
Chase Hutchinson
Even as there are some moments where it can fall into feeling like a greatest hits recap of the group that dances along the surface of the story, the more complicated reflections it offers on their lives and music cuts quite a bit deeper when it counts.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
Will not go down as one of the great music docs but where it does succeed is detailing the tale of a genuine friendship where proper credit is given and nothing but love is exchanged in a story with inner drama but never one of jealousy and regret.
In Review Online
Steven Warner
As entertaining as these littered anecdotes, and WHAM! as a whole, can be, the film also scans as fairly one-note in execution due to Smith's formal monotony.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
If all you want from the film is a kind of nostalgic pep pill... you'll find that the movie totally scratches than itch. But "Wham!" is also a fascinating music documentary that's telling two stories at once.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
There are actually a few choice moments in Wham!'s journey I wish the film had taken time to dig into a bit more, but what's here is still revealing, sometimes remarkable, and far more than just fan service.
Paste Magazine
Tara Bennett
A tight yet thorough timeline of Wham!'s creation, meteoric ascension and then abrupt ending, Wham!...tells their story from their perspectives.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Wham! is a treat for fans of '80s culture.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
A total blast, regardless of your level of fandom.
New York Times
Wesley Morris
Nothing here's overthought or pumped up. To invoke the words of a different beacon of catchiness, "Wham!" is a teenage dream. You could drink it from a coconut.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Chris Smith strikes just the right notes, if you will, by telling the story of Wham! respectfully and without irony.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"Wham!" tells a sweet story, but also a goofy and entertaining one, because these guys were more '80s than anybody, more even than "Miami Vice" and Duran Duran.
