Critic Reviews

Kenneth Turan

An extraordinarily intimate, deeply affecting and revelatory documentary on how pain and passion can come together in a creative artist. Read full review

Edward Guthmann

Holds our attention by dispensing information gradually, like a piece of fiction. Read full review

Jami Bernard

If it doesn't shed much light on the violinist's personal life, it certainly conveys how personally she relates to her work. Read full review

Alan Rich

The less you know about the world of classical music and, specifically, about one of its more flamboyant denizens, the violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, the less the offense of Speaking in Strings. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

(Salerno-Sonnenberg's) determination and resilience should speak to a broader audience. Read full review

Allan Ullrich

What mystifies, too, is the complete absence of information about Salerno-Sonnenberg's private life. Read full review

Robert Hilferty

A clumsy labor of love with unforgivable lapses...key footage is missing, and it fails to show why Salerno-Sonnenberg's controversial interpretations are so original and valid. Read full review
