Amazing Grace was SO good, I can't believe it wasn't everywhere on its release and that it's not been getting brought back into conversation with the release of so many big theatrical tour films like Renaissance, Eras and the Stop Making Sense anniversary re-release at the moment.

(Any Australians in this post, SBS OnDemand has Amazing Grace streaming for free at the moment, I highly recommend checking it out!)
