Critic Reviews

Ann Hornaday

Harbors some indelibly arresting images and characters whose stories, even at their most superficial, manage to be authentically inspiring. Read full review

Claudia Puig

An old-school documentary that is both non-controversial and uplifting, America's Heart & Soul could be subtitled the Anti-Fahrenheit 9/11. Read full review

Dave Kehr

A feel-good documentary. Read full review

J.R. Jones

This is supposed to be a testament to the nation's diversity, but it's so complacent that you'd never imagine said diversity is one of the greatest social challenges of the new century. Read full review

Laura Sinagra

When ditching the mawk to follow his daredevil muse, the director delivers stunning shots of cliff dancing and stunt pilotry. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

If Schwarzberg had chosen to concentrate on eccentrics, rural artists or people like his New York bike messenger, female aerobatic champion and California cliff dancer, "Heart and Soul" would have been a much more interesting film. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Represents apple-pie mythmaking at its most insidiously thoughtless. Read full review
