Movie Reviews

Variety - 10/10 by Jay WeissbergAs certain to get auds singing as the man himself, Pete Seeger: The Power of Song is a terrific, multilayered portrait of a singer whose legacy extends beyond music and into every major social action movement since the 1940s. Always enjoyable, this docu proves that a few rare people actually deserve the hagiography treatment.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertWith access to remarkable archival footage, old TV shows, home movies and the family photo album, Brown weaves together the story of the Seegers with testimony by admirers who represent his influence and legacy.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by Steven ReaThe Power of Song shows this icon of 20th-century music to be a man of passion and principle, and a true American. An important figure, an important film.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Joel SelvinAll the requisite talking heads pop up - Dylan, Springsteen, Baez - but it is Seeger himself who towers over the landscape. The filmmakers treat this aged curmudgeon almost too reverently, but it is hard not to be awed by this gentle, resolute soul because of the ideas he steadfastly and faithfully represented.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 9/10 by Rob ThomasYou sense that Seeger may feel his greatest legacy is not what he accomplished, but what his presence gave others the courage to accomplish. Even if it was just singing along with a roomful of strangers.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Ted FryIf you've never heard of Pete Seeger or if you've known him all your life, see this film. Walking out, you might just be ready to put the world together.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenMore than an appreciation, Pete Seeger: The Power of Song is an inspiration.
Detroit Free Press - 8/10 by Terry Lawson[Seeger] traversed decades, styles, even continents to bring the people's music to the people. This distinction is made with suitable and skillful great appreciation by director Jim Brown in Pete Seeger: The Power of Song.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Ty BurrSo there's a hole at the center of "Pete Seeger" that the movie fills with loving remembrances, testimonials, and new interview footage of the singer at his hand-built cabin in upstate New York.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Shawn LevyLike a picture postcard vision of his life and work: absolutely accurate as far as it goes but not too keen on looking too close for fear of uncovering anything untoward.
