Editor’s note: The Greatest Night in Pop (2024) in a nutshell: It leans into its Documentary, Music roots without feeling derivative. With Bao Nguyen at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Standout turns from Lionel Richie, Bruce Springsteen, Dionne Warwick keep it engaging even in quieter stretches. At 1h 37m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Reception is decent overall; not a game-changer, but hardly disposable. “The untold story behind "We Are the World."” sums up the film’s focus better than most trailers do. If the premise speaks to you, this one’s easy to recommend.
