dave d It's a slice of history of New York. If you like guitars, music, New York, in any combination you'll probably enjoy Carmine Street Guitars. We meet owner Rick Kelly, and his apprentice. and shows how much passion the duo have for making, fixing and restoring guitars. I've often said watching passionate people about a subject you don't like can be illuminating, but this Canadian (yes that's right) documentary takes us through every piece of the guitar from start to finish. Kelly goes into great detail about which woods are right for each other and how he comes upon 18th century wood. It's lovely and flies by and has a distinctly NY feel! Final Score: 8.4/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I would love to give this a 3.5 but that would be me being bias. All in all this was a decent time passer. At times you can tell they are speaking from a script, which takes away from the natural feel of the place and the guitars. Other than that, the film doesn't really go anywhere, it's more of a "hey we make guitars from old wood salvaged from NY buildings, and we've been doing it since forever"... that's it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Literally one of the worst movies I have watched. Contrived "conversations", third tier musicians, and no story arc. I felt like I was watching a cable access version of pawn stars. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a very well made movie about a wonderful artist practicing rare craft. A must see piece! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Good but painfully slow to watch at times. The pacing is too slow. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 'Carmine Street Guitars' is a pleasant little documentary about a small guitar-making outfit in New York City's famed West Village but the conversations were a bit too scripted and the setups were a bit too contrived given the genre. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
