The film offers such a rich array of archival footage, interviews, and candid photography that it's no struggle to put together a picture of the kind of man Pavarotti was.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2020

I walked out of this movie feeling good, which I think is the gift Pavarotti returned to everyone.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 25, 2019

Director Ron Howard knows how to make it emotional and appealing, to make us love the man as well as the extraordinary voice, as he skims the surface of a grand life and career.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 22, 2019

Those who want their image of Pavarotti left intact will enjoy the film; others will feel that a chance to put the record straight has been evaded.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 13, 2019

What a dull nostalgiafest.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 12, 2019

See it, if for no other reason than to learn the significance of his characteristic white hankie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 9, 2019

"Pavarotti" paints a simple picture of a complicated man, but it hits the high notes: the performances, the cheers, the adulation. Consider it a greatest hits.

| Original Score: B | Jun 30, 2019

It's an engaging film, filled with vintage snapshots, interviews with friends and former colleagues, and, most of all, that marvelously distinctive voice, with all the emotion it could convey.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 20, 2019

This love letter dedicated to opera's biggest rock star, the larger-than-life Luciano Pavarotti, achieves something most documentaries about the deceased rarely do: It brings a man back to glorious life.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 20, 2019

As "Pavarotti" demonstrates, while the music was mesmerizing, so was the man.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 13, 2019

Through a standard mix of interviews and archival footage, Howard tells a warm and inviting story of the singer from his humble beginnings to the almost godlike status he achieved in the opera world.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 11, 2019

Ron Howard's documentary doesn't just make you miss the singer. It makes you miss, of all things, a robust music industry.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 7, 2019

Although Howard doesn't go in for a lot of musicological analysis of Pavarotti's genius, which would have enriched the presentation, he compensates by giving us an ample dose of the singing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 7, 2019

As a collection of candid and onstage footage, Howard's work is satisfying; yet as a story of an extraordinary life, Pavarotti is frustratingly diluted.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 6, 2019

Clip after clip reinforces the image of Pavarotti as a robust man who loved life, loved food, loved wine, loved women - and loved himself, sometimes at the expense of others' feelings.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 6, 2019

Initial impressions, however, can be deceptive, and Howard turns out to be a natural choice to direct the excellent "Pavarotti," a warm, emotional and completely involving film about the celebrated tenor.

| Jun 6, 2019

Pavarotti's larger-than-life personality shines in almost every scene. The singer's optimism is contagious, and his schoolboy-like wonder is jubilant. There's a lot to smile at here.

Ron Howard's documentary Pavarotti is content to bask in his glow; despite the broad array of home movies, family photos, interviews, 온라인카지노추천 outtakes, and concert recordings at its disposal, it never feels intimate with Pavarotti the person.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 5, 2019

Maybe "Pavarotti" would be even more compelling if Howard had delved deeper into the contradictions and controversies. But the director does achieve the first goal on entertainment: Always leave them wanting more.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 5, 2019

With "Pavarotti," director Ron Howard serves up a straightforward documentary about the great tenor's life and career.
