4.5/5
"Young@Heart is a classic. May we all live to be so youthful in spirit and soul."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

C+
"It's certainly a film that's cruel to disagree with, but for all the goodwill and positivity it brings, there's a hollow, gimmicky quality left behind that doesn't sit well when the picture starts to take matters seriously."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

"Their "specialness" is the hook by which the film extols their representativeness."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

B+
"Charming, exuberant and poignant documentary...you'll probabvly come out of it with a spring in your step."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

5/5
"An extraordinary documentary about a senior citizen chorus that reveals singing as a spiritual practice that opens our hearts, provides fresh energy, and connects us with others."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

A-
"...such a hilarious, moving and uplifting piece of work the only thing left to do after seeing it is to start campaigning the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences's documentary arm to change their rules..."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

3.5/5
"We get to know these folks, their love for life and performing -- and yes, we even start to see them as more than a mere novelty act."  UR Chicago Magazine  Mark Dujsik

B+
"It shows that no one has more reason to stick it to The Man with rock music than people who are most defiantly not going gently into that good night."  Chicago Sun-Times  Nell Minow

2.5/4
"Young@Heart's worst enemy is its director, Stephen Walker, whose incessant pushing and prodding strives to manipulate in ways both needless and trite."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

B+
"The result is a feel good documentary that has us laughing and crying with our new friends."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

4/5
"A choir full of (very) old people get down with the rock music. Sweet, funny, touching stuff."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg

3.5/4
"The group's enthusiasm, natural talent and undeniable chutzpah effort-lessly translates to the screen in Stephen Walker's winning new documentary."  Charlotte Weekly  Sean O'Connell
