Craig Zobel's soul-crushing docudrama slums in the real rags-to-rags tragedy of the lowest rung of the music industry.
Zobel ultimately comes down on the side of the suckers, whose need to make music -- even bad music -- gives them an unimpeachable dignity
A confident, sure-handed exercise focusing on the American Dream, turned nightmare.
Anyone who has enjoyed laughing at the bad singers auditioning on American Idol, consider the independent film Great World of Sound your penance.
The laughs flow.
A quiet, clever and sometimes moving film about an unusual grifting lifestyle.
Great World of Sound is a corrosive antidote to "American Idol."
The film's agenda becomes clear so early that the middle hour or so seems to be marking time until we get to the end.
It's evident early on that this is a scam, though the extent of the movie's con is surprising.
Displays all the trademarks of a true indie effort, especially in its refusal to sentimentalize either the characters or their situations.
Everybody's got a song to sing, and we'll all believe exactly what we want for just as long as we can.
The pros and cons of the film are in direct proportion to the personalities of the two main characters, whose relationship is the story's anchor.
The debut feature of "Compliance" director Craig Zobel is an enjoyable little indie concerning the moral dilemma of taking an unethical job in these grim economic times. Pat Healy and Kene Holliday are great as two "record producers" whose job is to sign up musicians under the false pretence that they will launch their career.
Super Reviewer
A steadily heartwrenching tale of the sale of the American Dream.
