Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film treats Levenson's rapid descent as if someone had turned on the lights at a sex party: scurrying away with pity and irritation that the good times had to end.
– Robert Abele,
Los Angeles Times,
3 Apr 2009
fresh:
American Swing doesn't have a particularly well-defined point of view, but it is a succinct, entertaining and valuable record of a time that in some ways now seems as remote as the Roaring '20s.
– Lou Lumenick,
New York Post,
27 Mar 2009
rotten:
In the end, the impression isn't that much different from one given by the club's own hairy habitues -- lots of sleazy charm, pounds of gold chains and a smarmy shallowness that goes very, very deep.
– Stephen Whitty,
Newark Star-Ledger,
27 Mar 2009
rotten:
Although American Swing pointedly goes out of its way to include positive testimonials from several women who patronized the club, it leaves you feeling queasy.
– Stephen Holden,
New York Times,
27 Mar 2009
fresh:
Directors Jon Hart and Matthew Kaufman don't delve deeply enough into the psyche of club founder Larry Levenson or the culture he exploited. But they do present an entertaining snapshot of his brief reign as New York's self-appointed King of Swing.
