Prince: Unauthorized

About This Movie

So, Prince: Unauthorized is this 50-minute dive into the early days of Prince in Minneapolis. You get a sense of the vibe and atmosphere of that time, but the pacing feels a bit all over the place, really. The interviews, mostly with former bandmates and friends, lack that deeper insight, which leaves you wanting more. It's not filled with the juicy tidbits you'd expect from the title, just a lot of surface-level stuff. And, with no major archival footage or groundbreaking revelations, it feels like a missed opportunity. Still, if you're into early music documentaries or want to piece together Prince's formative years, there's a certain nostalgia woven through the clips and anecdotes. Just don’t expect a treasure trove of rarities.
