Down from the Mountain Ratings & Reviews
Film Threat
Now if you're looking for an in-depth study of the music, look elsewhere. This movie is strictly about the one event [a benefit concert (for the Country Music Hall of Fame 2001)].
Apollo Guide
Ryan Cracknell
Feels glossed over and incomplete.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
The music is grand, the performances are direct and Down From the Mountain is unpretentious in its presentation of both.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
In her performances and asides to the documentarians, it is Welch who best articulates why this music is so moving.
Sacramento Bee
Joe Baltake
Has the ease of a casual get-together by musicians who enjoy jamming with each other and who give us the privilege to sit there and listen and watch.
Oregonian
Shawn Levy
Hardly a groundbreaking concert movie, but it's a creditably agreeable one.
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
A Polaroid sprung to life.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
It's poor filmmaking, but wonderful music.

John Hartford is the uncle you wish to God you had had as a kid. And he can play that fiddle, too.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
Like the old-timey music that inspired it, Down From the Mountain is sweet, serene and utterly unconcerned with polish.
Kansas City Star
Timothy Finn
Pennebaker must have realized that the songs -- the spiritual sounds of the deprived and underprivileged -- were the story, so he let the music do most of the talking. A wise move on his part.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
There are plenty of musical highlights here.
Seattle Times
Misha Berson
A tender tribute to Hartford's spirit, and to the enduring value of the plaintive and celebratory music that emerged from this country's farm fields and front porches and backwoods churches.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
The whole experience is wonderful -- and this is a film to own on videotape, since you'll probably want to play these songs again and again.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
'This is stupendous,' participant Welch says of the concert. Spectators will feel the same way.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
If you have any affection at all for traditional American music, the movie itself ... is pretty close to heaven.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Hunter
Valuable if only for its recording of a group of great and sadly unappreciated American musicians who have toiled far too long in relative obscurity.
Boston Globe
Scott Alarik
A superb concert film chock-full of thrilling musical moments and backstage peeks at some of America's finest roots artists.
