Take Me to the River: New Orleans contains a lot of good music and a number of fascinating subjects for discussion, but never quite figures out how to bring them all together in a satisfying manner. Go to Full Review Chris Willman Variety 04/28/2022
Eventually the film finds its own rhythm. A movie that includes this disproportionate an amount of the world’s leading experts in syncopation would be hard-pressed not to. Go to Full Review Nate Tinner-Williams Black Catholic Messenger 08/10/2024

Though one could be fooled by its marketing into thinking the movie is a history doc, the film is moreso a behind-the-scenes look at a series of studio performances from the assembled artists, with historical vignettes on New Orleans interspersed. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 05/22/2022
It's partly a promotional vehicle showing the recording of the songs on the movie's soundtrack and partly a history of New Orleans music culture. The documentary has got some editing issues, but the diverse performances in the studio are joyous to watch. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 05/04/2022
