[Possibilities] feels more like a behind-the-scenes CD promo than a fully realized film.

Top Critic[The archival clips] are more interesting than the present-day material, which has the bland smoothness of a promotional press kit.

This documentary portrays the intense collaborative efforts that went into the recording of Herbie Hancocks latest album, Possibilities.

Top CriticWith 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.

What we have here is a solid documentary covering one of the icons of modern music.
