Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The movie has more cliched rebirths in mind, and you'll resent where it goes.

rotten:
Some new directors often opt for minimalism in the hope that less is more. This doesn't work for Amy Redford (Robert's daughter), who transitions from actress to filmmaker with The Guitar.

rotten:
That the movie is easy on the eyes (Melody's fetching silhouette against those sunset river views) doesn't make it any less bogus.

[A] bizarre art-house equiva lent of The Bucket Lisy.

The Guitar is a lark, at best, but when Burrows' healing indulgence extends to taking on lovers of both sexes, its goofiness acquires a certain hedonistic charm.
