Critics Consensus: Quincy presents an undeniably entertaining overview of its subject's remarkable life and career, albeit one that may leave some viewers wishing it had dug a little deeper.

The film not only reveals little about its subject that wasn't already readily known, but also provides minimal perspective or analysis of why and how he was able to develop his talent.
The museum story actually would have made a better narrative arc for "Quincy," which instead wanders every which way, and never seems to get its subject to relax on camera.
A comprehensive, loving, and yet surprisingly clear-eyed documentary portrait...
His triumphs from the earliest points of his career onward are exhilarating; the racism he is obliged to endure throughout is infuriating.
This documentary on his life's work offers a personalized glimpse into a bygone world of entertainment and the legacy of racism that black artists still grapple with today.
Tireless, ultra-talented and exceedingly charismatic, he emerges as a survivor in a film that spends too much time on his accolades and not enough on deciphering what makes this treasure of an octogenarian tick.
Rashida Jones and Hicks succeed in creating a lively and humble portrait of a true artist while revealing the struggles of aging and loss.
In addition to its meandering through two overlong hours, it also ends up being maddeningly superficial, giving only the most cursory mention of several genuinely intriguing eras of Quincy Jones' truly epic life.
This Netflix documentary honors his career, but it's the focus on the man himself that sets it apart from others like it.
Therefore the arrival of Quincy, a comprehensive chronicle of the extensive musical legacy of the incomparable Quincy Jones, is definite cause for celebration for music fans.
Rashida Jones teamed up with documentarian Alan Hicks to turn the camera on her father. The resulting documentary presents a sincere look at the icon's life and influence.
Docu of prolific musician/composer/producer; some profanity.
"I wish everybody here...a long, long, long ass life; filled with a whole lot of...tons of...they say...love to share, health to spare, and friends who care." Because that's what life's really about.
