In this biographical documentary, gospel singer Al Green is profiled in his early days of soul music and then in an interview, he reveals how he became a Pentecostal minister and began singing only gospel. Background information is also provided by interviews with close friends and professional associates, as well as experts who discuss black gospel and the Pentacostal religion. Green tends to meander in his non-answers to the questions posed, yet his meanderings are still interesting. Since clips of his performances are probably the most eloquent commentary on the singer and minister, a few more clips and a little less discussion would have made the documentary livelier and sustained a slightly higher level of energy throughout. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
