Rock the Bells Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
The lively hip-hop documentary Rock the Bells demands neither familiarity with the music nor a hankering for rhyme.
San Francisco Chronicle
Neva Chonin
Humorously, but with knuckles bared, captures every twitch of angst, chaos and near-calamity that unfolds as the concert draws near and Weisberg's dream devolves into a nightmare.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
Rock the Bells deals with the mechanics of how to pull off a concert, not with what brought Wu-Tang Clan together or split them up. The impressive teamwork of the promoters upstages the egos of hip-hop divos and their rampaging fans.
Chicago Tribune
Kevin M. Williams
A flat-out stunner that combines a celebration of hip-hop culture with a disaster film.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
Rock the Bells is stressful to watch, but its entertaining stage performances and document of people under pressure should interest even non-rap fans.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
While "much ado about nothing" might be overstating things, after more than an hour and a half of buildup, it would have been nice to see Wu-Tang perform.
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
Rock the Bells' homespun documentary aesthetic evokes a DVD special feature more than an actual film.

Chris Cabin
Urgent and unrelenting
Hip-Hop Book Club
Kam Williams
Hip-hop's irreverent answer to Woodstock!
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
For connoisseurs of stories of show business near-disasters, Bells is compelling viewing.
Chicago Reader
Peter Margasak
A Los Angeles hip-hop promoter tries to stage the first concert in six years by the legendary Wu-Tang Clan in this entertaining video documentary.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Lively and amusing.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Tense, hilarious and totally serendipitous.
Village Voice
Nathan Lee
This nerve-racking knockout of a film pays testament to the passion of the Tang, and to the memory of the loose-cannon lyricist who never lived to see his lyrics born.
Cinematical
Karina Longworth
A love letter to fans and fandom that is so heartfelt, it bleeds through the boundaries of musical taste.
L.A. Weekly
Ernest Hardy
Rock the Bells [ends] on a high note, but in a minor chord of sadness.
Premiere Magazine
Aaron Hillis
Outright exhilarating... Rock the Bells doesn't just delve behind the scenes; it makes a showstopping guest-MC out of each crazy new obstacle.
Los Angeles Daily News
The show goes on -- despite the Wu-Tang Clan.
