Critic Reviews

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
So overpowering is Green's outsized, needy, arrested-adolescent personality (while you initially suspect he's playing for the camera, the blasé attitude of his students suggests he really is like this), it throws the movie off-balance.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Their playing is terrific, but there's little doubt the kids are fulfilling Green's fantasy rather than the other way around.
-
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Green's heart, if not his head, seems in the right place. He's carrying the torch and holding it high, and his students seem to dig it.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
I don't know what it means that rock 'n' roll has become a bona fide after-school activity, but Rock School definitely kept my attention.
-
Michael Booth, Denver Post
Succeeds as a riveting movie because it doesn't try to lead us from verse to an obvious chorus about Green, or his uniquely abusive methods.
