Critics Consensus

A refreshingly chill music documentary, Shangri-La provides an insightful -- if not exactly revelatory -- peak into the private world of producer Rick Rubin.

This four-part documentary, directed by Morgan Neville, is less a profile or biography than an evocation of a vibe and an exploration of a sensibility. It's an invigorating ramble around a singular mind and a restorative meditation on creativity.

STREAM IT, especially if you're a fan of Rubin and his work. Shangri-La will take some work to get through some of the more mystical stuff, but it'll give you a lot of insight into how your favorite music comes into being.
