In 2003, the female country band, The Dixie Chicks, are at the top of their game being one of the most successful bands of all time. However with the US invasion of Iraq about to begin over frustrated worldwide objections about this needless war, one of the Chick vents off the cuff in concert about being ashamed of US President George W. Bush. This statement sparks a firestorm of organized and personal right wing attacks against the Chicks for daring to think they have the right to express a negative personal opinion about the President. This film covers the band's effort to ride out the turmoil that would leave their careers under a cloud, but would eventually give them a opportunity to grow as great artists who bow to no one.
Leave your thoughts about Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing.
| Premiere MagazineSara BradyThe film as a whole is less a political document than it is a sensitively detailed backstage portrait of a unique musical phenomenon. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJoel SelvinDocumentary filmmakers pray for something to happen to their subjects when the cameras are rolling, and two-time Academy Award-winning documentarian Kopple struck gold when Maines told a crowd on the opening night of the band's first European tour that she was "ashamed" that President Bush was from Texas. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinThe Dixie Chicks are who we thought they were. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekShut up & Sing is a primer on how controversy and pop music are manufactured. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellOne of the many remarkable things about this film is watching the band evolve as a result of an unplanned and apparently inconsequential remark. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversFor three years, the camera focuses on the Chicks as wives, mothers, entertainers and political flash points. Their fight to stay uncompromised is inspiring. |
| MaximPete HammondA hell-raising soul stirring musical documentary about the right of free speech. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteThe film suffers from its non-linear approach to the subject. |
| VarietyPhil GalloIt's the rare thorough documentary on a musical act whose dilemmas are faced in the here and now, one that should win over fans of the Chicks on the fence and of music docus and perhaps create a little cultural stir as well. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressGoing in with just a rudimentary knowledge of their music, by the time Natalie Maines utters one of the best closing lines of the year, I had never been so proud to be an American. |
