Daniel Eagan

A cynic might regard Herbie Hancock: Possibilities as a glorified 'making of' video, fleshed out with some archival footage and clips from recent concerts.

2/5

Josh Kun

[Possibilities] feels more like a behind-the-scenes CD promo than a fully realized film.

2/4

Maitland McDonagh

[The archival clips] are more interesting than the present-day material, which has the bland smoothness of a promotional press kit.

V.A. Musetto

As directed by Doug Biro and Jon Fine, the film plays like one long commercial.

This documentary portrays the intense collaborative efforts that went into the recording of Herbie Hancocks latest album, Possibilities.

Ernest Hardy

With elder-statesman words of wisdom from the man himself, Possibilities celebrates an impulse that’s too rare in modern music: the love behind the labor of creation.

Kirk Honeycutt

What we have here is a solid documentary covering one of the icons of modern music.

Possibilities will likely draw in only the most hardcore of Hancock's fans.

Luke Y. Thompson

With its straightforward track-by-track recording-session clips, it feels like something you'd find on the bonus disc of a deluxe package.

2/4

Nick Schager

Hancock's political musings seem mostly out of place in a film that, in essence, is little more than a glorified EPK.
