A wonderful film which should not be missed.

The movie is history as kitsch, not quite on the Life is Beautiful level of manipulation, but clumsy.

Top CriticThis German film, based on the true story of this legendary vocal ensemble, shows how politics colors everything: no creative soul can ever be apolitical.

Top CriticThe charismatic quality of the group, the performing magic that made them the big stars they were, is not convincingly demonstrated and that is a major weakness in the film.

The actors are extremely competent and the sets display the necessary detail for an effective period film.
