Chicago Reader

This is probably Alan Parker's best film, in part because it's one of his most modest.

This typically slick but largely enjoyable Alan Parker offering is the story of the rise and demise of a young Irish soul band.

Common Sense Media

Joyous '90s musical-drama has lots of profanity.

Variety

Director Alan Parker's story of a band of young Dubliners playing American '60s soul is fresh, well-executed and original.

Combustible Celluloid

Does a remarkable job of balancing a feel of lower-class life with the sheer exuberance the music brings.

Parker keeps going for the glitz. He may have shot The Commitments in Ireland, but his soul never left Hollywood.

It's a relaxed, colorful creation, remaining true to rascally human behaviors while respecting the unifying power of music. Downright irresistible.

Foul-mouthed, fast-talking and very funny, this is Parker's best to date.

Mr. Parker is capable of whipping a series of quick, well-edited snippets into a happy collage of musical high spirits.

Memorable, lingering in one's mind after it has ended. Perhaps, in the end, it's a tad wiser than it initially lets on.

The film offers no message, no solutions, only a great time at the movies.
