Leave your thoughts about Touch the Sound.
| The Tyee (British Columbia)Dorothy WoodendMore than once, I found myself crying while watching Touch the Sound for no apparent reason, but then, beauty can do that to you. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittExquisitely beautiful for the eyes as for the ears. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsGlenn WhippRiedelsheimer succeeds in showing us Glennie's world as she feels it. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a spacious, hauntingly meditative film that thankfully does not dwell on the implications of Glennie's deafness. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonEvelyn Glennie hosts a surrealistic ride through the waves of her preternatural percussion as she invites the audience to feel as they hear. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullIt doesn't help when Glennie tries to elucidate her feelings about nature and music in holistic, broad strokes that border on nonsense. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Touch the Sound is a completely joyful moviegoing experience and, like the best movies, it takes you to a place you've never been. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonBeautifully shot and filled with gorgeous music. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA potent and imaginative creative biography of virtuoso percussionist Glennie. |
| L.A. WeeklyF.X. FeeneyWe're led to experience her life as she does -- as an adventure in which setbacks are not challenges, but illuminations of untracked paths. |
