Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Onstage or in rehearsal, surrounded by familiars or alone with the camera, Ms. Bethnia is an expressive force of nature whose honeyed voice could lure sailors to their doom. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 29, 2008 Full Review Matt Noller Slant Magazine A documentary of interest only to those already familiar with its subject. Rated: 2/4 Aug 28, 2008 Full Review Aaron Hillis Village Voice As artistically temperate as the now silver-maned Brazilian contralto. Aug 27, 2008 Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) Whether she's singing to a crowd of thousands or alone in the studio, the singer is a charming presence throughout. Aug 24, 2017 Full Review Matthew Nestel Boxoffice Magazine No musical track is cut-off -- you get the entire cookie instead of a bunch of crumbs. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 29, 2008 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews An intimate film about the artistic and social visions of one of Brazil's most respected singers.
