THE REVEREND follows the spiritual and musical journey of Reverend Vince Anderson. After coming to New York in the 90's to enter the seminary, Vince dropped out to follow his second calling -- music. With his band The Love Choir, he has played a now-legendary weekly show for over twenty years. Reconnecting with his faith and using his intense soulful music, he began to preach a type of spirituality that meets people where they are, is open to all, and moves everyone that sees him play. Reverend Vince is also deeply involved in social activism, working with other progressive faith leaders at home and around the country to build inclusive communities. Filmed over several years and featuring Questlove and members of TV On The Radio, The Reverend is a rocking concert film as well as an intimate portrait of Reverend Vince's inspiring personal and spiritual life.

Lisa Kennedy New York Times Canfield’s debut feature is infused with its own measure of that gentling spirit. It is also blessedly low on piousness. Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Ronak Kotecha ReviewRon An unusual documentary about the most offbeat gospel-singer and Christian reverend minister you are ever destined to meet Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 8, 2024 Full Review Matthew Turner Action Reloaded Ultimately, the film leaves you with a portrait of a unique and fascinating figure, and Anderson’s vision of shared music as a profoundly spiritual, deeply human experience. Rated: 4/5 May 22, 2024 Full Review Lael Loewenstein FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It gets significantly better in the middle and I thought it was interesting to see a religious influencer who knows that that power can be used for different things. Mar 23, 2024 Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com In many ways, The Reverend is the perfect music documentary. Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Loren King Newport This Week (RI) Director Nick Canfield’s cele­bratory documentary, The Rev­erend, will likely defy any notion you may have about gospel music or ministry.
