Manuel Betancourt Variety A meditation on loneliness, on the fleeting if meaningful connections we aim to make with ourselves and with one another when we pick up a mic and sing from our hearts. Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Christopher Machell CineVue Paakkanen shoots his film with a utilitarian directness, letting the footage speak for itself and allowing the texture of his subjects’ lives unfold organically. The result is charming, humane and more than a little catchy. Rated: 4/5 Apr 15, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
