Leave your thoughts about Down from the Mountain.
| New Times (L.A.)Robert WilonskyIt's the most uplifting movie of a numbing year -- a feel-good film full of songs about feeling god-awful. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranFor fans of this kind of roots music, it was an event you would have given anything to attend. Down From the Mountain lets you do that and gives you terrific seats in the bargain. |
| L.A. WeeklyHazel-Dawn DumpertThe music, it goes without saying, is great. |
| The New York TimesDana StevensIf you have any affection at all for traditional American music, the movie itself -- is pretty close to heaven. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsGood music stands alone, and the documentary is jaunty fun. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyIf the heart of the film is Hartford, who late in his struggle with cancer conveys the luminous colors of a man at his twilight, its soul is Welch. |
| Kansas City StarTimothy FinnPennebaker must have realized that the songs -- the spiritual sounds of the deprived and underprivileged -- were the story, so he let the music do most of the talking. A wise move on his part. |
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamLike the old-timey music that inspired it, Down From the Mountain is sweet, serene and utterly unconcerned with polish. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsJohn Hartford is the uncle you wish to God you had had as a kid. And he can play that fiddle, too. |
| BBC.comJason WoodIt's impossible to deny the unalloyed joy that the film gives the spectator. |
