Reviews for Am I Black Enough For You
1 - 15 (sorted by fresh rating)
The feeling that the film’s subject has been over-stretched isn’t helped by some crass overdubs of Paul’s live performances. Authenticity starts at home.

An affectionate and thoughtful portrait of an artist.

This illuminating doc looks back on the Philly singer's life and times. It reveals a vast talent who lost his way through a combination of drugs and bad business decisions.
07/03/09
Despite a few structural problems, Am I Black Enough For You is an engaging and ultimately uplifting film.
07/03/09
Philadelphia's soul legend Billy Paul takes centre stage in this intriguing documentary, which teases out the nuances of his complex and often painful career.
07/03/09
A touching story, relatively well told with the bonus of a fine backing track and eloquent interview subjects.
07/03/09
The film succeeds in making us want to check out the singer’s back catalogue.
07/03/09
Slightly woolly overall, though you might find yourself buying the CDs. I did.
07/03/09
There’s not enough about the conflicts between Paul and those who controlled his records but this is a fan-like yet not too oleaginous tribute.
07/03/09
It's clear that there isn't enough imagery to cover the narrative. This is a 50-minute radio programme stuck in 90 minutes of pixels.

The old fella’s still got it, but you’ll wish you knew more about him.
07/03/09
Am I Black Enough for You is a brain-curdling essay in docu-sycophancy.

Olsson, a Swedish enthusiast, doesn't manage to resolve the questions or even convince me that they're interesting enough to sustain a whole film.
07/03/09
It all boils down to a complete lack of focus on the part of the film-makers. Not only do they fail to get their questions answered, they also run out of material so disastrously.
