Reviews for Touch the Sound
Doesn't touch Glennie's greatness.

Evelyn Glennie hosts a surrealistic ride through the waves of her preternatural percussion as she invites the audience to feel as they hear.

Fans of the Grammy-winning musician will revel in the proximity to their idol, though second pic from talented helmer Thomas Riedelsheimer plays a tad long to those unfamiliar with his, or her, work.
09/01/05
Rewarding, thought-provoking and subtly visceral.

This concentration on the physical quality of sounds is a mesmerizing corroboration of Glennie's belief that tones, timbre, and tempo are in "everything we see."

Glennie's accomplishments in music are as unexpected and against all norms as are Lance Armstrong's in sports.

Exquisitely beautiful for the eyes as for the ears.

It's a cinematically masterful portrait even if its subject falls short of expectations.
07/25/05
The film is a paean to the variety of sound in our world, sound that we experience very differently from how Evelyn Glennie does.
