The whole thing was a bad idea that only genius could've rescued. Maybe not even then. Jan 26, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Sung mainly by real-life folk musicians Joe Purdy and Amber Rubarth, the songs lend the film an emotional resonance that the forced dialogue often struggles to achieve. Jan 23, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

With quirky characters met along the road, and as a visual love letter to the heartland, the film has a certain charm, and fans of folk music should be more than happy. Jun 20, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Only a few films over the years have tried to dramatize events leading up to or following 9/11. September 12th takes a modest but effective approach to that national tragedy. Feb 14, 2017 | Full Review…

The actors are both accomplished folk musicians, so the music is amazing. The film is quiet and peaceful as they journey in a forced slow pace back to the epicenter. Jan 31, 2018 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

American Folk didn't have to be good. Instead Heinz delivered a gentle yet nuanced exploration of America and Americans in one of our darkest hours. Jan 26, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

American Folk-and the actors themselves-come alive when the music's playing, particularly if you're a fan of Pete Seeger-era Americana. Jan 26, 2018 | Full Review…

Neither character is particularly compelling, nor are the goodhearted folk they meet along the way because It Was A Time When All Kinds of Americans Briefly Came Together and Heinz is only interested in pounding that idea home. Jan 26, 2018 | Full Review…
