Leave your thoughts about Music Within.
| New York ObserverRex ReedThis is a nice little well-meaning idea for a movie, but even with three writers on the payroll, it never really catches fire. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderWhen the subject is not well-known, and the film about his life is unremarkable, the whole thing starts to feel like an exercise in futility. |
| Boxoffice MagazineChad GreeneUnfortunately, the cast and crew of Music Within don't get much of their own music out here -- at best, they hum a few bars of an off-key tune. |
| NewsdayJan StuartThere may be an interesting movie in all of this, but too much is filtered through the hero's voice-over narration, always a recipe for squashing the life out of a film. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's just too bad that the pious treatment given the deserving Pimentel never translated into a more engaging film. |
| The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttLivingston and director Steven Sawalich keep the character in constant motion, his dialogue sprinkled with humor and his energy contagious. The film also is surrounded by a crew of ferociously individualistic characters. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonHelmed by Steve Sawalich, this real-life dramedy is anchored by Michael Sheen’s captivating performance as the severely handicapped, profoundly acerbic Art Honeyman. |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallSteven Sawalich directed with invention and heart. |
| Chicago TribuneJessica ReavesStarts strong but eventually collapses under its weighty sense of responsibility. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsThe performances are all solid, but Sheen, last seen as Tony Blair in "The Queen," is so good in his incredibly demanding role that he makes the natural discomfort people feel at seeing someone so debilitated disappear completely. |
