A music documentary of uncommon richness.
By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW
80
De Felitta seems a born documaker. He brilliantly constructs a tale born of a genuine love of jazz and a need to understand how Paris went from sensation to footnote in a generation.
By Robert Koehler FULL REVIEW
75
De Felitta's portrait of Paris -- who died in June 2004 -- isn't always flattering, but it is genuinely moving on many levels, none of which require knowledge of or even interest in jazz.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW
75
The film serves him well, replaying a few surviving recordings that make clear what a beautifully melodious voice he had and what a talent went wasted.
By Jack Mathews FULL REVIEW
75
Based on the many delightful samples on the soundtrack, it's an exemplary goal.
By Lou Lumenick FULL REVIEW

Part tribute, part musical mystery, ’Tis Autumn: The Search for Jackie Paris shines an overdue spotlight on a great who got away.
By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW
70
What kept Paris from the top? The answers provided rarely qualify as revelation, but this affectionate portrait distinguishes itself from the ongoing epidemic of musician docs by mere virtue of staking out ground that hasn't already been thoroughly tilled.
