Leave your thoughts about Drumline.
| 3BlackChicks ReviewKamal 'The Diva' LarsuelAt times, Drumline is almost like the moments before an electrical storm - your hair stands on end; your heart beats faster because of the adrenaline rush; and your ears pop because of the pressure change in the air. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe final drum-off (c'mon, you knew it would come down to that) resembles a combination of music, gymnastics and martial arts, and I don't think I've seen a more pulse-pounding scene this year. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyThe symbols float like butterflies and the spinning styx sting like bees. I wanted more. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanDoes more than capture the excitement of marching bands; it gets their clockwork beauty as well. |
| The Film YapNick RogersTrue bandos can see themselves in this exuberant, charismatic and lovingly accurate college marching-band movie that faked no flavor while staying in step with themes of instruction, character and respect. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJonathan CurielThese aren't the marching band songs of your father's or mother's generation but a musical expression that is modern and exciting to watch. |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Mark PalermoDrumline has plenty of opportunity to shift into sports-movie autopilot and resists it at every turn, valuing discovery over expectation. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAmazing! A college story that works even without vulgarity, sex scenes, and cussing! |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersThe joy of the movie is in the getting there, and Drumline gets so much of the little stuff right that the denouement ends up being nothing less than rousing. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseA most unusual musical...Learning something from his subject, Stone gives the picture a snappy rhythm. [Blu-ray] |
