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

|
[Possibilities] feels more like a behind-the-scenes CD promo than a fully realized film. Full Review |
|||
|
[The archival clips] are more interesting than the present-day material, which has the bland smoothness of a promotional press kit. Full Review |

|
As directed by Doug Biro and Jon Fine, the film plays like one long commercial. Full Review |
|||
|
This documentary portrays the intense collaborative efforts that went into the recording of Herbie Hancocks latest album, Possibilities.
|
|||
|
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. Full Review |
|||
|
What we have here is a solid documentary covering one of the icons of modern music. Full Review |
|||
|
Possibilities will likely draw in only the most hardcore of Hancock's fans. Full Review |
|||
|
With its straightforward track-by-track recording-session clips, it feels like something you'd find on the bonus disc of a deluxe package. Full Review |

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