  • Reception

    Memphis received mostly positive reviews from critics. Justin Lowe in his review for The Hollywood Reporter called it "A film of quiet intensity and poetic imagery." Rob Nelson of Variety, praised the film by saying that "(it) is a digressive, daringly experimental study of a flailing musician, magnetically played by accomplished bluesman and poet Willis Earl Beal."

    However, Sam Fragoso in his review for RogerEbert.com said that "Sutton's sophomoric sophomore effort is a pseudo-existentialist excursion through the life of a nomadic singer struggling with artistic stagnation."
