Rating: 4/5 --
A heart-warming documentary about holding onto your dreams -- and perhaps one of this year's most enjoyable and accomplished films.

Rating: 3/4 --
At 85 minutes, it's a tight, sharp achievement, yet one of the things I love about it is simple: It moves to a relaxed rhythm, in sync with its slightly otherworldly subject.

Chicago Tribune
By far the best aspect of the film is to discover the music of Rodriguez, whose haunting lyrics truly were never appreciated in his native country.

SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN possesses undeniable charm...
Hollywood Reporter
[T]he movie presents Rodriguez as an enigmatic singer-songwriter with Dylan-esque sensibilities, discovered in the 1970s and then forgotten in America... -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
4 stars out of 4 -- [A] documentary that enlists us in the process of its search....The information they eventually dislodge about Rodriguez suggests a secular saint, a deeply good man, whose music is the expression of a blessed inner being.

Rating: 4/5 --
Searching for Sugar Man is a sensitive yet creative documentary. Great for music and film fans alike.

Product Description:
Two South African music lovers embark on a mission to uncover the fate of an obscure, 1970s-era U.S. rocker whose debut album became a surprise hit in their home country, and uncover a shocking secret along the way. Sixto Diaz Rodriguez had the kind of musical career that every aspiring rock star fears -- lauded by critics but ignored by the public, he released two albums before unceremoniously disappearing from the spotlight. But while sales of Rodriguez's debut CD COLD FACT fell flat in the U.S., overseas in Australia and South Africa, the fans couldn't get enough. In apartheid-torn South Africa in particular, COLD FACT became something of an anti-establishment classic, eventually going platinum. Later, rumors began to swirl that Rodriguez had suffered a horrible death. When Rodriguez's second album COMING FROM REALITY makes it's belated debut in South Africa, a pair of devoted fans take it upon themselves to uncover the facts surrounding the mysterious musician, and get the surprise of a lifetime while attempting to track the profits from his record sales.
