Genius: Aretha | Ratings & Reviews

"A fairly predictable biopic, anchored - and lifted - by the increasingly brilliant Erivo and the always reliable Vance."

StuffStuff

"Come for Erivo's lovely rendition of Franklin and the intimate details in her life; stay for the rapturous musical goodness that follows."

PastePaste

"Although you won't see it in a theater but on a network known more for nature docs, the series demands its own, yes, respect."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"Aretha shows us that the performer and the person were two very different sides of the legend. We all know the former. The latter remains too much a mystery."
