Critic Reviews
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
The filmmakers over-edit potentially fascinating material, and even the concert footage is arbitrarily curtailed.
-
Rachel Saltz, New York Times
The strength of 100 Voices lies precisely in its voices: those of the cantors, many of whom are excellent and moving raconteurs. They provide all the history and poignancy the film needs.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
It's hard to imagine a more profound expression of the healing power of music than Matthew Asner and Danny Gold's deeply affecting 100 Voices: A Journey Home.
-
Robert W. Butler, Kansas City Star
The film has been built around the live performances, which become an aural backdrop for beautifully edited archival footage and photos of pre-war Jewish life.
-
Joseph Jon Lanthier, Slant Magazine
While 100 Voices lacks the behind-the-camera musicality and deference to concert flow of Scorsese's The Last Waltz, it's no less potent as an auto-elegy.
