Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
So thoroughly engaging, so beautifully made, strikingly shot and chock-full of humor and humanity, I can't imagine any intelligent audience not falling in love with it.

rotten:
It's not bad per se, but it would probably play better on the small screen.

fresh:
Far from being a collection of stoic cliches, the singers are vibrantly individual, and their stories form the film's core.

Cool and Crazy, not only does music have charms to soothe the savage breast, but also warmth to melt the endless Norwegian winter.

An unusual and utterly disarming documentary.
