Leave your thoughts about The Family Jams.
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe low-key, hand-held Family Jams may not ever attain the stature of, say, a concert film like D. A. Pennebaker's "Don't Look Back." But it should, as a record of musicians in youthful flower, sharing a loose, heartfelt camaraderie and lack of pretension. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibJams affords the opportunity to hang with gifted, genre-defying fringe artists at a pivotal point in their evolving careers. |
| Tiny Mix TapesDerek SmithAs frustratingly inconsistent as The Family Jams can be, fans of freak folk will likely find just enough rare footage to make it worth their while, but everyone else would be wise to sit this one out. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe Family Jams is an edited home video, not a movie, and it's an especially annoying home video with delusions of artistic grandeur. |
| Village VoiceAndrew SchenkerOnly a true fanatical follower of the "freak folk" musical scene with a high tolerance for artless verité camerawork will find much merit in Kevin Barker's extended home video. |
