Leave your thoughts about Idlewild.
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeI'm not sure who this was made for, but I thank God -- along with Messrs. Barber, Benjamin and Patton -- that somebody made it at all. |
| CinematicalKim VoynarIdlewild stands out as a ground-breaking, clever, original musical that crosses audience demographics as it does genres. |
| Movie MomNell MinowThe evident affection for this romanticized vision of the era saturates the film like the warm sepia tones of its palette. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe only hope for saving the humorless Idlewild is the atmospheric speak-easy setting, the great dancing numbers and the chill soundtrack. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyAggressive direction. Aggressive, bold, confident & unabashed. The cinematography -- flat out gorgeous. This film busts out of the projector's gates like a break dancer on ice. |
| EDGE BostonDavid FoucherA stylish, energetic romp of 1930s flair with two platinum-selling artists kicking the tires of Hollywood paradigms. |
| BET.comJames HillIf "Harlem Nights" and "Moulin Rouge" had a baby, it would be the entertaining, uneven but delightful "Idlewild." |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsJeffrey ChenIdlewild's brazen approach to cinematic entertainment is one of its brightest lights. |
| FilmStew.comBrett BuckalewImbues tried-and-true movie musical archetypes with sly but never campy contemporary flourishes, in a way that would make Baz Luhrmann proud. |
| NightsAndWeekends.comMark PfeifferIdlewild overflows with inventiveness and random weirdness that sort of make it a must-see even if it isn't a particularly good film. |
