Video: 94

Featuring finely restored 4K video and clear lossless sound, Sony's 2160p 4K presentation of *Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip* impresses with rich colors, excellent detailing, and subtle but impactful Dolby Vision/HDR10 enhancement, capturing Pryor’s performance with remarkable clarity and depth.

Audio: 70

The DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mono track faithfully delivers Richard Pryor's dialogue and audience reactions with exceptional clarity and fidelity, though it remains one-dimensional and misses the immersive potential of a 5.1 mix.

Extra: 13

The extras on the 4K UHD Blu-ray for "Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip" are disappointingly minimal, comprising only an upscaled 1080p teaser trailer and a digital code for various streaming platforms (4K HDR10, Dolby Digital 2.0 mono available on Movies Anywhere).

Movie: 77

Shot live with electrifying energy at the Hollywood Palladium, 'Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip' showcases his legendary comedic prowess and vivid characterizations, yet some material struggles to resonate today despite the film’s sharp direction and photography by Joe Layton and Haskell Wexler.
