Critic Reviews

J. R. Jones

The film is music from beginning to end, and nearly every note of it is magical. Read full review

John Petrakis

It's hard to focus on the travails when the music is so lively and good. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The film is virtually wall-to-wall music with very little commentary -- it's obvious that, given the chance, these musicians would much rather play than talk. Read full review

Jonathan Perry

Grittily beautiful film that looks, sounds, and feels more like an extended, open-ended poem than a traditionally structured story. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Every trip requires patience, and this one brings plenty of rewards, in the ecstatic sounds of a country most of us haven't been able to visit firsthand. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

While the performances are often engaging, this loose collection of largely improvised numbers would probably have worked better as a one-hour TV documentary. Read full review

David Rooney

Not quite a documentary, it's more like a musical travelogue that doesn't quite sustain feature length and seems ideally suited to a shorter TV version for music webs. Read full review
