Absorbing if not quite insightful, due to a fair degree of self-editing, this remains a moving, often melancholic document of a fabulous songwriter and singer whose legacy becomes ever more obvious as the years pass. A must for fans.

A glimpse into the tumultuous period of Michael’s life and career following the release of his 1987 solo debut, Faith. Along with documenting his creative efforts during this period, Michael also explores his relationship with Anselmo Feleppa — who died from AIDS-related complications — as well as the death of his mother.

What are critics saying?
There’s perhaps not enough new material to justify a re-release, but as a whole it’s still great, and a reminder of just what a class act Michael was.
Despite its flaws, George Michael Freedom Uncut ultimately succeeds because the man himself remains so compelling.
The Observer (UK) by Wendy Ide
Michael talks about himself with candour, and the archive footage is extensive. But the choice of interviewees, including a tittering Ricky Gervais honking out off-key witticisms, James Corden and Liam Gallagher, seems a bit random.
