It's a fascinating four-part, four-hour documentation of music producer Rick Rubin's genius, his oddness, his ego, his belief systems and, most wonderfully, his effect on musicians who come to him to find inspiration.

So if anyone out there is in need of a guiding light, "Shangri-La" just might flip the switch.
July 12, 2019
Alternately fascinating and frustrating.

What resonates most in Shangri-La-a gentle, summery viewing experience as relaxing as its subject is relaxed-is [Rick] Rubin's authenticity, his ability to connect with whoever happens to be in his studio regardless of their age, race or gender.

[Morgan] Neville imbues "Shangri-La" with the laid-back, loose energy of the music maestro.
July 12, 2019
"Shangri-La" offers a look into the private world Rubin has created. It may be limited, but that doesn't mean it isn't fascinating.
July 12, 2019
Shangri-La is far better when it grapples less with facts and more with the transcendent power of music.
July 12, 2019
The anti-thesis of HBO's docu-series, the self-congratulatory The Defiant Ones, Shangri-La leaves you feeling at peace and ready to open yourself up to create.
July 12, 2019
STREAM IT, especially if you're a fan of Rubin and his work. Shangri-La will take some work to get through some of the more mystical stuff, but it'll give you a lot of insight into how your favorite music comes into being.
