Show more >> Voices Rising: The Music of Wakanda Forever is an interesting documentary that will surely appeal to fans of the Black Panther franchise. While it offers a peek into the creative process of the film's music, it sometimes feels like it skims the surface rather than diving deep into the nuances of the score.

It's worth a watch if you're a fan, but it may not resonate with those outside the Marvel fandom. Show less
