It was really good for a first-time filmmaker (especially one who claimed he never got into videos for his group.).

Having not grown up in a household that played a lot of soul/R&B from that time period it was a great history lesson on the state of Black music culture from that time. And the way the movie wove in the sentiments from African Americans towards life in America against the musical themes and fashion choices of the musicians was nicely done. It never felt forced and added context to the resonance and significance of the events that summer.

As someone said, the structure of the narrative split up into mini-docs combined into one was a nice choice. And the pacing was wonderful. Getting everyone significant airtime, without cheating anyone while maintaining momentum was impressive. The movie never felt slow or that it was getting lost in unnecessary details.

?uest is many things. Among them a sincere, genuine appreciator of music culture and history. This hit its intention to be a sincere, genuine tribute to a forgotten moment.
