Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by Peter RainerSays Lauro: "This is about as close as you can get to the way it sounded during slavery days." Lauro and McGlynn understand, too, that these clips must be experienced whole. They let the music unfold in real time, not snippets.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranRejoice provides both a melodic education and a once-in-a-lifetime concert in one soul-stirring package.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Stephen HoldenYour religion or lack of one doesn't matter. At some point while watching the film, you may feel that music IS God, or if not, a close approximation of divinity.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanThe film is a bit too chronological, but its historical reverence is true to gospel's joyful insistence on locating the spiritual in the everyday.
New Orleans Times-Picayune - 8/10 by Mike ScottMcGlynn's film clocks in at just a shade under two hours, which normally would be a little long for a documentary. In this case, the length not only is warranted but welcomed.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertA consistently entertaining documentary bringing together a remarkable variety of surviving performances on films and records, going back to circa 1900.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Dan DeLucaAnyone with a casual interest in gospel music stands to learn a lot by seeing Rejoice & Shout; a true fan won't want to miss it.
Variety - 8/10 by Leslie FelperinAn overview of African-American gospel sounds whose dazzling talent-display should exhilarate viewers regardless of religious leanings.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Kirk HoneycuttFor anyone with a keen interest in this unique American musical form, Rejoice and Shout is a must-see and see-again.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Nick PinkertonThe best bits - the powerful instrument called Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, for example - more than speak for themselves.
