[Possibilities] feels more like a behind-the-scenes CD promo than a fully realized film.

Top Critic[The archival clips] are more interesting than the present-day material, which has the bland smoothness of a promotional press kit.
04/14/06
As directed by Doug Biro and Jon Fine, the film plays like one long commercial.
04/14/06
This documentary portrays the intense collaborative efforts that went into the recording of Herbie Hancocks latest album, Possibilities.
04/13/06
Top CriticWith elder-statesman words of wisdom from the man himself, Possibilities celebrates an impulse that’s too rare in modern music: the love behind the labor of creation.
04/13/06
What we have here is a solid documentary covering one of the icons of modern music.

Possibilities will likely draw in only the most hardcore of Hancock's fans.

04/11/06
Hancock's political musings seem mostly out of place in a film that, in essence, is little more than a glorified EPK.
