At 84 minutes, the doc feels a bit long, and it’s easy to envision a one-hour version working well for public broadcast. Still, Atlas does a fine job painting a complete picture of his subjects, and giving us a few musical treats along the way. Go to Full Review Trish Crawford Toronto Star 06/05/2014

The music throughout is wonderful and you wish there was more of it, including concert footage. Go to Full Review Nick Prigge Slant Magazine 03/24/2014

There are grudges held amid all the good will, an intention of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble to do things on their terms, and those terms stem directly from their upbringing. Go to Full Review Rhodé Marshall City Press (South Africa) 04/15/2020
Now grown, they make music that is at once joyful, unremittingly exciting and undeniably wonderful as they raise eight brass horns to the sky. This is a great coming-of-age story. Go to Full Review Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters 03/26/2014
Brothers Hypnotic introduces the band as a function of their dad, his progeny, his project even as they have also become devoted artists in their own right. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/15/2014 I got bored. The film did not have a strong narrative. Maybe there were too many people and not enough focus on one. I'd like to see a separate film focused just on Phil Cohran. See more 06/05/2014 A good but not great documentary about the eight children of Phil Cohran and their attempt to gain stardom for themselves. Without knowing if the riches are at the end of the rags, the documentary leads us to an unsatisfying conclusion. See more Read all reviews
