Prince: Sign O' the Times

I often complain about a lot of live concerts not working particularly well when presented through a cinematic format, particularly when it comes to rock bands. However, _Sign of the Times_ is a huge exception to that rule. The bold, bright lighting and set perfectly capture the aesthetic of Prince. The setlist and performances by Prince and his band are watertight, often building on the original compositions in an interesting, unexpected way. The camerawork, editing choices and stage choreography are all very exciting, it’s one of the few times where I feel like the experience of watching this gave me something more than just listening to the music. There are a few things that could’ve been improved (the mix on U Got The Look sounds a little off; don’t cut away from Sheila E during that drum solo), but this was overall a really fun, memorable experience. 8.5/10
