The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus embarks on a tour of the American Deep South.

Tre'vell Anderson

Out Magazine

David Charles Rodrigues' doc is actually about way more than its logline.... With that in mind, Gay Chorus Deep South doesn't reinvent the wheel.

David Lewis

San Francisco Chronicle

What makes the film emotionally satisfying, beyond the stirring music, is that we witness the healing and enlightenment of chorus members, some of them bearing scars from their oppressive red-state upbringings.

Rated: 3/4

New York Times

Ultimately... the documentary is able to record only small, not sweeping, changes of heart. Nevertheless, the film, like the singers, maintains a compassionate optimism.

With the aftermath of the election still upon us, the film renews our hope in the future, and helps get rid of the nasty aftertaste of the falls bitter political contest.

Rated: 3/4

[The movie] shows that this very unique tour demonstrated how the power of music can help heal bigoted rifts that keep people apart.
