As We Speak: Rap Music on Trial

"Revealing."

"Long on sociological acuity and immediacy, shorter on narrative thrust and specifics."

"The documentary’s power, beauty and complexity lie in Harper’s use of rhetoric and lyricism."

"Oobvious, stiff sequences give (it) the tone of a PSA."

"Successfully explores diasporic issues that need to be changed from the ground up."

"The staged material is a bit heavy-handed, but (the documentary) makes a powerful case for the necessity of being free to make art."
