Recounting details from the biography of Quincy Jones, a standout amongst the most well known symbols in the music field. He began his profession about sixty years prior, through this period he has figured out how to accomplish numerous things, for example, a record 79 Grammy Award designations, and 27 Grammys, including a Grammy Legend Award in 1991.
Rashida Jones and Alan Hick take the helm to pull off the incredible task with flying colors to embark on this deep and thoughtful examination of Quincy Jones and his life.
It's an enjoyable and intermittently revelatory documentary that does a fine job of celebrating its subject's accomplishments while never quite achieving the degree of intimacy that it strives for.
In 'Quincy', a legend is able to climb down from the pedestal he's been on for so long and gather us all around him for a story about a man who loved music.
Marriages, children, an aneurysm and drinking problem fill out the warts-and-all bio/doc. In so many ways, Quincy is an integral part of American history.
Drawing on extraordinary archival footage and intimate moments shot over the last five years, Jones and co-director Alan Hicks paint a human portrait of this larger-than-life figure.
In Rashida Jones's documentary tribute to her own father, Quincy Jones, we see previous tributes to the legendary producer, which is just some next level redundancy.
For those unfortunate souls who only know Jones as the producer of "Thriller" or, more recently, a giver of deliriously entertaining interviews, "Quincy" presents a streamlined and convincing case for taking a much deeper dive into his accomplishments.
This documentary on his life's work offers a personalized glimpse into a bygone world of entertainment and the legacy of racism that black artists still grapple with today.
Tireless, ultra-talented and exceedingly charismatic, he emerges as a survivor in a film that spends too much time on his accolades and not enough on deciphering what makes this treasure of an octogenarian tick.
