Following the Ninth: In the Footsteps of Beethoven's Final Symphony Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The film is badly overconceived, especially when Candaele divides her subjects' stories into five chapters based on the symphony's respective movements, but the personal reminiscences are stirring and occasionally heartbreaking.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
Writer-director Kerry Candaele incisively documents the ideological legacy of opus 125 in Chile, China and Germany.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Despite the good intentions, structurally it's all over the place with an excess of montages, archival footage, interviews and information practically drowning out any chance to appreciate the richness of the German composer's beloved achievement.

Louis Proyect
A perceptive look at how the "Ode to Joy" served as an anthem for liberation struggles, something Beethoven clearly intended as a partisan of the French Revolution.
New York Times
Daniel M. Gold
All the film's segments are smartly assembled and gracefully paced. Oh, and the score's pretty good, too.
Village Voice
John Oursler
Each anecdote builds upon the next to create that rarest of films: a documentary as ineffable and transformative in its reach as it sets out to be.
