Reviews

  • A movie that re-creates its object of satire with such pitch-perfect flair that it all but erases the line between derision and love.

    Owen Gleiberman - Entertainment Weekly

  • The picture gently caricatures the folk music scene with dozens of delicate brush strokes, creating a picture that's increasingly, gloriously funny -- as in entire lines of dialogue are lost because the audience's laughing so hard.

  • I've seen A Mighty Wind only twice so far. Maybe it is less fresh than "Guffman," more strained than "Best in Show." Who cares? It's still a gift from comedy heaven.

  • Like the first half of "Best in Show," the movie is so deadpan that sometimes you have to pinch yourself to realize how potently satirical it is.

  • More of a warm breeze than a great gust, but its simple, smart pleasures carry the force of a hurricane.
