There's an elusive, ephemeral, seductive quality to Ms. Alavi's series that had me watching it in one great gulp, never mind any pre-existing affinity for Wayne Shorter.
-
With a wealth of archival performance footage and an intriguing visual style, Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity is an open door to exploring the saxophonist’s legacy, but also creativity as a beacon of light.

Not all the helmer’s choices escape self-consciousness, and sometimes they’re too much or too literal, rushing to fill in the spaces between notes in ways that Shorter himself never did. But mostly Alavi’s inventiveness is in sync with her subject and his expansive approach to life and art. And, best of all, most of the doc’s talking heads are musicians.
