Critic Reviews for Sign 'o' the Times

All Critics (14) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (2)

  • [The film] was directed by Prince, and he does a good, sound job without finding an answer to the problem of all directors of rock concert films: After you have exhausted the basic repertory of obvious shots and audience reactions, what do you do then?

    April 25, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Roger Ebert

    Chicago Sun-Times

  • The utopian rocker, whose manner and music promise a blissful, dreamy union of the races and the sexes, doesn`t need a story line to communicate his meanings, which remain by pop standards unusually complex and considered.

    Chicago Tribune

  • Prince provides musicvideo addicts with a pure fix of visual and aural synchronicity.

  • Musically, it's a matter of opinion, but from the sparse funk of the title tune to the bebop blow-out around Charlie Parker's Now's the Time, this guiltless grooving in Eden fizzes with brilliantly choreographed wit and invention.

    Mark Cordery

    Time Out

  • Prince, whose ties to soul and jazz are clearer than ever before, whose willingness to embrace different musical forms seems to grow all the time, has never cast a stronger spell.

    Janet Maslin

    New York Times

  • As a concert film, judged from the music, Sign O' the Times is near the top. As a movie -- carrying inside it the embryo of other movies -- it's not fully satisfying.
