(1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1   A- "The film is a wonderful and intelligent creation and certainly a must see for any Chicks fan that lost the faith over such an absurd and misunderstood moment of personal expression."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "The film includes this remarkable, oxymoronic revelation by Cumulus Media's Lewis Dickey, that the decision to boycott the Chicks' songs "was a collaborative decision-making process. Everybody fell in line.""   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/4 "...as divisive as George Bush himself."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B+ "When the focus is on the controversy, on how everything is political these days, the movie feels fresh and alive."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "Going in with just a rudimentary knowledge of their music, by the time Natalie Maines utters one of the best closing lines of the year, I had never been so proud to be an American."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "While managing to say something about the principle of free speech and the power of consumerism in America, it also manages to be as smart, sassy and enjoyable as the Chicks."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A rousing documentary that salutes freedom of speech and the resiliency and creativity of the Dixie Chicks."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 4/5 "Truth is stranger than fiction, and often makes a better story, too."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Karina Montgomery B+ "...this documentary may be just the thing to find them a new audience. This non-Country fan was surprised by how much she enjoyed their music."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "[M]assively depressing, and highlights some of the hypocrisies and idiocies of American public life, and points out how... ignorant some Americans are, and makes you want to just give up and move to Mars and start all over again with a new revolution."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "Part vanity project, part image rehabilitation."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "The movie isn't quite the idolatrous you-go-girl portrait one might expect."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B+ "A fascinating and well-executed hybrid: combining musical biopic and political examination to produce something more memorable than either would be on its own."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B+ "The best documentary of 2006."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "Shut Up and Sing is a shout of defiance, a chronicle of the price we have to be willing to pay to stand up for what we believe in."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 3/4 "An entertaining and smartly paced blend of concert footage, media clips, and behind-the-scenes interviews, Shut Up and Sing is a provocative and insightful documentary of lives under very public fire."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   1
