Calle 54 Reviews
Washington Post
Fernando Gonzalez
This is one fan's valentine to the music he loves. It just happens that the fan is a terrific filmmaker and the music loves him back.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Collectively, the numbers add up to a triumph of ecstatic mood swinging.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Although it isn't the human-interest story that Buena Vista Social Club was, Fernando Trueba's Calle 54 is the next best thing to that milestone musical documentary.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
It is easy to imagine Calle 54 having a long shelf life on home video after its run in theaters. It can be played over and over again with increasing satisfaction.
USA Today
Mike Clark
There's not been a more infectious jazz performance screen treat since 1959's classic Jazz on a Summer's Day.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
A brilliantly conceived and elegantly realized documentary tribute to Latin jazz, it packs more drama into each of its 12 musical tableaux than most feature films manage in two hours.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Music and movies are two of the great international languages, something Fernando Trueba's Calle 54 proves with wide smiles and an irresistible beat.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
The film is such a pure expression of the director's love for the music, a love so infectious it should leave you elated.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This is one summer movie with real sizzle.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
You come away with more appreciation of how inclusive Latin jazz, with its roots in Africa, really is.
Seattle Times
John Zebrowski
What makes Calle 54 great is precisely what's missing from the other. Trueba shows us the creative act of playing music, not just a bunch of famous folks performing.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
A good listen without being a particularly good watch.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
The knowledge of the musicians' connection to one another makes it the most touching interlude in an overlong but nevertheless entertaining film.
Film.com
Elizabeth Weitzman
Descriptions of great art are, of course, ultimately irrelevant, and Trueba knew we'd have to experience his passion for ourselves. He's offering a dazzling invitation -- take him up on it.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
A loving Buena Vista Social Club -style hymn to the rhythm and life of salsa.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The film will greatly appeal to current fans of the musical genre and should win over more than a few converts.
Filmcritic.com
Frank Ochieng
A festive experience for those who are willing to embrace Latin jazz, but it doesn't reveal anything beyond a peek at a two hour celluloid concert in session.
San Diego Union-Tribune
David Elliott
Calle 54 could make you feel hot, nostalgic and possessive about this music.
