Reviews for Crossroads
Any music fan will do well spend an hour and a half watching this one.
Great blues music and authentic Deep South atmosphere highlight this unusually gentle film by Walter Hill.
Revels in the discoveries of youth and the gritty and cathartic magic of Mississippi Delta blues music.
