Broken Strings Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Bernard Ray's 1940 "race movie," made for segregated black audiences, is hokey but relatively touching and professional for its genre.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Heart-felt but clumsily acted all-black musical.
Pittsburgh Courier
Earl J. Morris
Broken Strings is an artistic triumph!
The New Yorker
Penelope Gilliatt
An affecting social melodrama.
The Film Daily
Film Daily Staff
As conceived the piece carries a fair degree of heart or emotion. Considering the fact that it was made on the independent type of budget, it is reasonably well handled... Clarence Muse heads a capable cast.
