Roberta
Roberta Flack’s place in music history was assured when she became the first artist to win back-to-back Grammy Awards for Record of the Year with “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” (1973) and “Killing Me Softly with His Song” (1974). The depth and complexity of her lyrical and thematic choices, as well as the sophisticated mix of classical and soul influences on her style, all sprang from a woman who thoughtfully interrogated her role and identity throughout her life. Filmmaker Antonino D’Ambrosio has created a marvelous monument to a singular and unclassifiable musical genius, with commentary from contemporary artists whom she has inspired.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Antonino D’Ambrosio crafts an intimate portrait, focusing less on chronology and more on the intellectual and emotional core of Flack's artistry. The film reveals a genius whose work emerged from a lifelong interrogation of self and society.
What lingers after the credits is a profound respect for artistic integrity. It’s a quiet, powerful revelation of the person behind the timeless voice. — MovieFinder Editorial
