New on Netflix, American Symphony is a documentary about Jon Batiste as he goes through the process of composing and rehearsing his work American Symphony while dealing with the illness of his wife Suleika Jaoud.
I couldn’t make it through the movie which is rare for me. I really like Batiste as an artist and he does a great job of describing his work in interviews like on Fresh Air. He and Suleika gave the filmmakers open access to their lives even at very difficult moments. But the finished film feels like a slog. There’s no sense of discovery or insight about Batiste’s creative process and nothing to inject energy into the story. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
