Leave your thoughts about Made in Jamaica.
| Toronto StarTony WongA worthy look at a music born though turmoil with a vision that still resonates globally. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonThe biggest flaw here is that, despite its excellent music and infectious energy, Lapperrousaz's documentary feels as though it is constantly skating across the top of much bigger issues that you wish he'd investigate. |
| Filmstar MagazineNeil DaveyIn a move that will either see it written off as lazy or celebrated for its admirable neutrality, Made in Jamaica doesn't provide a straight answer. |
| Metro (UK)Zena AllkayatJamaican music has always been socially driven. Fitting then, that Jérôme Laperrousaz's doc sheds light on his country's social issues, such as poverty, gun warfare, religious tension, sexual exploitation, via an exploration of its music. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitSingers, instrumentalists, bands and composers are poorly identified by ornate brief printed titles, only two or three familiar names resonating for a general public. |
| Total FilmCarmen GrayThe haphazard structure chafes against its gritty aspirations. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawUnselfconsciously celebratory about a culture teeming with energy and semi-absorbed influences. |
| Times (UK)Edward PorterI'd have preferred Laperrousaz to give more information about the music's history. And fans will probably find the film's performance clips annoyingly short. |
| Globe and MailJason McBrideAn affectionate if largely unsatisfying exploration of the musical genre's evolution. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekMade in Jamaica has some charming interludes. |
