Reviews
The concert film Sade: A Love Affair With Life - Live in Montreux has been appreciated for its authentic and raw depiction of Sade's early career stage presence. On IMDb, it holds a respectable rating of approximately 7.5/10, based on fan feedback praising the flawless vocals and smooth arrangements that have become trademarks of Sade's sound. Critics from AllMusic highlight the film’s strong visual aesthetics and sound quality, complimenting the musicianship displayed on stage. However, some reviews from niche jazz forums suggest that while the concert is a must-watch for dedicated fans, newcomers to Sade's music might find the film somewhat dated given its 1980s production style. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an official critic score, but user ratings generally praise the film’s mood-setting and the emotive delivery of hit songs like 'Smooth Operator' and 'Your Love Is King.' Metacritic does not list this concert film, reflecting its niche appeal rather than mainstream release. Overall, the film is celebrated for capturing a pivotal moment in Sade’s career and is highly recommended for fans of jazz, soul, and 1980s music lovers, though it may appeal less to a broader audience unfamiliar with her work.
