“ Beautiful historical work that honors and informs about a human being and a moment in time, while also taking full advantage of the theatrical form to dazzle, move, and entertain. Parks' journey is exquisitely told through a mix of skillfully written, natural scenes, and heightened moments of song. Harrison David Rivers' treatment of Gordon Parks feels much like the way Parks himself refers to Dorothea Lange, Jack Delano, et al's treatment of photographic subjects in the Depression and Dust Bowl--he shows the "difficulties and dignities" of Parks' life in a nuanced, well-rounded way. Gorgeous! ”
