Entertainment Reviews:
In AILEY, the director Jamila Wignot layers images, video and -- most important -- voice-overs from Ailey to create a portrait that feels as poetic and nuanced as choreography itself.
New York Times
It can be a tantalizing watch....It’s a poetic and meditative documentary...
Variety
[A] stunning documentary chronicles the rich life of Alvin Ailey....Wignot handles details of the legend’s tumultuous biography with great care, honoring his talents while acknowledging the toll they took on him.
Hollywood Reporter
3 stars out of 4 -- It is an educational journey, an uncompromising look into the challenges of an artistic life, and a tribute to the man whose studio and dance company still bear his name.
