Critic Reviews

Peter L'Official

Wolfe's anecdotal musicology succeeds precisely because of its bare-bones, bawdy yet beautiful approach--just like the music Vargas makes. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Without losing sight of the music's essential energy, Mr. Wolfe peppers his film with quietly resonant shots. Read full review

Peter Margasak

The technically uneven performance footage is redeemed by excellent sound and charismatic interviews with popular bachateros. Read full review

Ronnie Scheib

Alternating between New York clubs by night and the colorful streets and countryside of Santa Domingo by day, pic captures the spirit of the music and the nation that gave birth to it. Read full review
