Everett Evans Houston Chronicle It isn't far into the film before you're wishing they all could win. Rated: 3.5/4 May 14, 2010 Full Review Scott Cantrell Dallas Morning News Backstage scenes of hugs and tears, and interactions among the young musicians and warmly supportive host families, are utterly endearing. Rated: 4.5/5 May 14, 2010 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle A Surprise in Texas never satisfies in the way a truly immersive competition doc, such as Spellbound, does, but for classical music enthusiasts, it's still an entertaining peek behind the curtain of a high-stakes, high-wire three weeks. Rated: 2.5/4 May 14, 2010 Full Review Laura Hiros Rincón de cine A delight. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
