Atom User Reviews for Making the Five Heartbeats
Qualitative work at its best!
One of my favorite movies of all time! Well deserved for Robert Townsend and Cast
So grateful for the opportunity to get a behind the scenes look into one of my familyβs FAVORITE films. Thank you for confirming the ageold debate about the movie being inspired by the Temptations. THANK YOU for sticking to your gut about keeping the sister and church scenes. As a young black girl watching the film, I felt like it was a personal shoutout to me. I was βseenβ. The church scene was PARAMOUNT, and defending our faith is an important responsibility (thanks for that reminder). Finally, THANK YOU for reminding us (artists) to ALWAYS stand behind quality work that we believe in. Donβt cave under the pressure of naysayers. This. Was. Awesome... timely... and inspiring. Thank you.
Robert Townsend is an incredible storyteller and filmmaker. I wish more people knew about this showing. Bring it to Netflix!
I am a huge fan. I thought I knew the story of how it was made. But, I learned so much. It was never boring. A must see for fans.
Laughs, smiles, and tears were had. We learned a lot about the movie we didn't know before. Walked away happy. Thank you, Robert Townsend & cast.
This is my all time favorite movie! I learned so much about how it what went into how it was made. Iβm more in love with it than I was before.
It was so good the story behind it was almost as interesting as the actual movie.
This movie was phenomenal and needs to be in more theaters for more than a day!

So inspiring!
Awesome and surprising to see the ups and downs of what it took to make the movie. Great untold stories.
I loved it!!! Many surprises in the film. Who knew?
I know I saw the movie in the theater at least 5 to 6 times; just to think the movie almost wasn't going to happen is shocking to me. The Five Heartbeats is one of my all time favorite movies. #mustsee #epic
Didnt think I could love the movie anymore than I already did. I was mistaken. Thank you Robert for this love letter to the fans. And thank you atomic for being its host.
Amazing! It was awesome to see the process of making one of the greatest movies!!
If noting else it made me appreciate a #movie Ive claimed as a favorite of mine for several decades now that much more. More insight, and walk down memory lane of how it all came together because one man had a dreamed and even throughout lives let downs and struggles he pushed through and fought for his vision! ππΎππΎ
Love!!!!
This doc was incredible. It was fascinating to see how one of my favorite films was brought to life. This film will inspire generations to come.
The wonderful βgemsβ we find out about were wonderful. So many surprises. Loved it!
ππΌβ€ππΌ great movie!!
The Five heartbeats will always hold a very special place in my heart. I was surprised that the movie did not do well in BoxOffice back in the day. As a Kid, I remember watching the Five heart beats and feeling real emotions for these five Brothers . I cried during the scene with Eddie and the end of the movie, but laughed when Eddie tried to make a come back in this silver suit while still addicted to drugs . Sure that was supposed to be a serious, scene, but I was surprised that Robert didn't talk about it in the making of the film. As an actress and junior film wrtiter, this movie breaks down the true highs and lows of making this film And to think that production wanted to cut the two best scenes?!!? Robert, please produce more movies and thank you for exposing Hollyweird, They don't get our spirituality nor our deep connection to the most high.
So awesome to see all the hard work that went into this film and to see all of todayβs stars who auditioned. I would love to have this on DVD!
So happy to have experienced the scene behind the scenes of this movie. Anyone who loves this movie needs to see this!!!! P.s. stay for the cast interviews!
