| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksA fine, straight-forward documentary that relates an incredible story. |
| VarietyEmanuel LevyBrilliant in moments if also flawed, this is a fascinating chronicle of the man who revolutionized modern music with the world's first electronic instrument; impact on movie scores is one of the docu's best parts. |
| User ReviewJustin Awhat a beautiful documentary, i get the goosebumps watching the masters perform. |
| User ReviewTex SThis movie is the best ever done about electronic instruments featured in 50s sci-fi movies. Peace, Tex Shelters |
| User ReviewMichael BOne of the best music docs ever. This is informative and a lot of fun. |
| User ReviewRene RIf you are interested in the roots of electronic music this movie will rock your world. |
| User ReviewPrivate UWorth it for the priceless Wilson moments. |
| User ReviewDavid Sreally great, reminds me of my old roomie john who i just reconnected with last week by coincidence. |
| User ReviewWilliam BLeon Theremin's is an amazing story, though for me the real star is Clara Rockmore, one of the greatest most adorable musicians of all times, and here we have, in addition to moving footage of her captivating performances, the treat of witnessing her with Leon on her 18th birthday - Brian Wilson's pointless ramblings should have been edited out completely |
| User ReviewIan RReally fascinating look at something most people have never heard about. The Brian Wilson interview is also worth checking out to see what someone is like without their meds. |
