America's Heart & Soul Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
The kind of film that might play on a loop at a county fair's Americana exhibit.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Even if [Schwartzberg's] choices feel somewhat clichd, there's no doubting the spirit of his subjects, who seem genuinely proud to share their thoughts and feelings for a few, too brief moments.
Entertainment Weekly
Gregory Kirschling
Less evocative and honest in all its 88 minutes than, say, just one of the throwaway establishing shots of Angela Arenivar's dusty Texas-panhandle hometown in last year's Spellbound, a true American movie with a lot more heart and soul.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
A pleasing visual treat.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Though America's Heart & Soul doesn't break new ground, its apolitical tone and diverse cast may be a tonic for those tired of our country's divisive climate.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Disheartening & Soulless is really a better title for this empty exercise in boosterism.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
This film might work OK as a holiday TV special, but anyone who spends eight bucks on it is bound to end up cranky and disappointed.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
It's pretty darn good and more than a little inspiring.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Four stars to the subjects of this movie, and two stars to the way they have been boiled down into cute pictures and sound bites.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Depth, complexity, questions, expanse of feeling -- these are things that make America great. How terrible that a film called America's Heart and Soul missed both those elements.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
Watching this film from veteran commercial director and cinematographer Louis Schwartzberg is like being subjected to an endless ad for Coke or insurance.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
Though none of these vignettes are long and some last only seconds, the movie felt endless.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Essentially a feature-length TV commercial featuring glossy images of people at work and at play.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
A big, beautiful love letter to America.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
An inspirational and emotionally effective feel-good film.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Even though, at times, Schwartzberg's documentary exalts the American way of life with the mythical reverence of a Leni Riefenstahl, the experience is undeniably stirring.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Harbors some indelibly arresting images and characters whose stories, even at their most superficial, manage to be authentically inspiring.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The movie is rigged to hit so many folks' personal high notes that it seems a little shrill.
