Tongues

About This Movie

So, 'Tongues' from 2010 is this documentary that feels really personal and raw, almost like a diary you didn't expect to read. The director, unknown to me, captures a lot of the essence of music and loss, primarily focusing on the late Steve Reid, who had a big influence on the scene. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments to breathe, which adds weight to his story. There's a lot of intimate footage and interviews that really pull you into Reid's world—his experiences, his artistry. The overall atmosphere is both melancholic and celebratory, making you think about the impact of loss in the creative process. It stands out because it’s less about the accolades and more about the human connection through music.
