This preliminary report on The Greatest Night in Pop comes from our workforce following the premieres on the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. We’ll replace this piece when there’s extra details about the film’s launch.
Logline
On Jan. 28, 1985, greater than 40 of the United States’ most well-known musicians, from Michael Jackson and Diana Ross to Paul Simon and Billy Joel, gathered in secret to report a charity track. “We Are the World” was supposed as a fundraiser for famine reduction in Africa. The Greatest Night in Pop, a documentary coming to Netflix quickly, is about how that track obtained recorded in only one evening.
Longerline

Bao Nguyen’s movie runs via the making of the track, from the preliminary concept to the writing to getting expertise on board to the recording itself.
Nguyen presents all of this via archival footage from when the recording session was initially filmed, in addition to talking-head interviews with among the musicians concerned, together with Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, and Kenny Loggins.
What’s The Greatest Night in Pop attempting to do?

It was a who’s who of probably the most well-known musicians on the planet, which meant that there was each a clashing of egos and an easiness that got here from shared ranges of fame: These superstars have been in the one room in the world the place most people round them actually understood what life was like at that stage of superstar.

The Greatest Night in Pop is after a extra relaxed and celebratory model of the harried power that director D.A. Pennebaker captured in Original Cast Album: Company, his filming of that album’s all-night recording session. Mostly, Nguyen gets it there. His doc is ethereal and enjoyable, and whereas it narrativizes the evening nicely, thanks in giant half to Richie’s improbable narration, it principally has the great sense to get out of the way in which of the personalities that have been truly in the room. This strategy holds it again from being a really nice documentary: It hardly ever provides a lot context to the footage we’re seeing, past the backstory, and it pointedly avoids any controversy, or any criticism of even probably the most troublesome superstar contributors. But the footage-forward strategy does make the entire thing tremendously enjoyable to look at.
Seeing Bob Dylan look uncomfortable in a sea of well-known faces, Stevie Wonder joking round with Ray Charles, or Huey Lewis nervously understanding a concord is as near unguarded as most of those stars have ever been on movie. It’s a captivating doc. And the way in which each second of that footage continues to be charming almost 40 years later is a testomony to the uncooked, all-encompassing, completely magnetic star energy that everybody in that room has.
