Though not as uproariously funny as Guest's previous movies, A Mighty Wind is also more heartfelt. Read critic reviews

Hilarious folk music mockumentary has some innuendo.

There is no shortage of performers with comic skills in A Mighty Wind. What's lacking instead is a visible premise for the satire and ridicule.

More of a warm breeze than a great gust, but its simple, smart pleasures carry the force of a hurricane.

Audience Reviews for A Mighty Wind

Nov 18, 2018The impression we have here is that Guest is less interested in making fun of people and their curious idiosyncrasies with his usual satirical bite, making a film that is sweeter and more heartfelt than Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show but also a bit less funny, too.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Apr 02, 2016Christopher Guest's masterpiece. You get the sense that while he's mocking elements of the folk music scene, he ultimately loves the genre and these characters. Everything with Mitch and Mickey is so perfect I can't help but get moved to tears.Alec B Super Reviewer

Apr 21, 2012Full confession alert: I'm not the biggest Christopher Guest fan; however, A Mighty Wind is maturely directed, heartfelt, and keenly observed. I never thought I would be genuinely touched by a Guest film, but that's why we watch movies, right?Jonathan H Super Reviewer

Jan 27, 2012My favourite of the Chris Guest films that is absolutely hilarious. What makes Guest films work is that the oddballs within them are entirely believable. The actors involved breathe life into them without taking them over the top.John B Super Reviewer
