It isn't wildly imaginative, but its subjects are novel enough in their own right. They're a little bit country and a little bit Rachmaninoff.

What makes the story worthwhile is the candor and personality of the band members.

Pleasant if slightly pokey documentary.

This competently made picture seems a rehash, and not a terribly interesting one. What's remarkable about it is how unremarkable it is.

The documentary never gets more than skin deep. It rarely delves into the troubling regions that are the very orchards of documentary.
