Music here seems to have a miraculous power to lift up, to awaken, to reinvigorate.

Equal parts heart-wrenching and heart-lifting ...

I would have preferred a documentary that did more presenting and less pushing. But...the music's vivifying effect on old souls made for some of the most moving scenes I've seen all year.

The movie effectively bullies you into feeling good; with its hard sell and superfluous CG imagery, it might as well be a superhero movie.

The movie is at its best when documenting the reactions of various patients, which in some cases is nearly miraculous.

Alive Inside is a small but vibrant miracle. The documentary finds hope and joy in one of our nation's bleakest settings, nursing homes.
