      Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle While Let the Canary Sing is undoubtedly a loving portrait of Lauper, it's also a very human portrait of a woman who has always been OK with walking away, or dusting herself down after personal and professional challenges. Jul 3, 2023 Full Review Lex Briscuso TheWrap One thing is achingly clear in: The only things that truly mattered to Lauper were music and family. In this touching and lovely film, the two come together to show the world the true heart of Lauper’s character the way it’s always been. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety “Let the Canary Sing” is satisfying when it focuses on Lauper’s music and her ragamuffin-street-kook persona, but you feel like you’re getting the super-bite-size version of Cyndi Lauper’s life. Jun 16, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Offers no real critique or surprises. Rated: B Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Stephen Silver Living Life Fearless The archival footage is outstanding, and we learn some harrowing stuff about the singer’s upbringing. Rated: 4/5 Jul 13, 2023 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A straightforward documentary that's a loving tribute to a woman with a unique voice, a boisterous personality, and a natural raw talent that will leave a lasting legacy on American music.
