Searching for Sugar Man
audience Reviews
, 92% Audience Score- Rating: 1 out of 5 starsToo much searching and too little Sugarman.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsFairly interesting, if somewhat uneven (like the artist's journey), biopic by Sixto's youngest daughter, Regan Rodriquez. Sadly Sixto Rodriguez passed away in August of 2023, due to the after-effects of a stroke suffered in Feb. 2023 -- likely aided by the poor public health care system in that part of Detroit, MI.
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsDon't read anything about it. Just watch it. You are going to love it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsRip Sugar Man. Still my favorite documentary of all time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsEasily one of the best documentaries I have ever watched. Watching the mystery unravel was intriguing and ultimately inspiring.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsThis documentary constructed a story by misleading the audience and making Rodriguez into someone he was not. It left out important details about his career, such as the fact that he was famous in Australia and New Zealand and toured there in the late 1970s, before he even went to South Africa. While this movie is somewhat entertaining, it is misleading and only tells Rodriguez's story from a very specific viewpoint. It is filled with half truths, and is factually ambiguous.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsInteresting documentary about a lost musician (Sixto Rodriguez) found.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsOne of the best stories of all time!
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsInteresting topic but the execution lacked
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsA great and inspiring film. Just when you think the story couldn't get any more fascinating, another amazing layer is unveiled.
