Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
There is no shortage of performers with comic skills in A Mighty Wind. What's lacking instead is a visible premise for the satire and ridicule.
– Andrew Sarris,

fresh:
More of a warm breeze than a great gust, but its simple, smart pleasures carry the force of a hurricane.

fresh:
You don't leave A Mighty Wind laughing so much as humming. Its dialogue may be improvised, but its music is well rehearsed.
– Bruce Westbrook,

fresh:
While Guest never forgets to laugh, he never forgets to love either, embracing the very subject he is simultaneously throttling.

A hoot.
