Mark Feeney Boston Globe 05/19/2020
2.5/4
If anything, the film does a bit too much, going for variety and breadth sometimes at the expense of depth. There are a lot of bases to touch here, and touching pretty much all of them means several get touched too lightly. Go to Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News 05/18/2020

"Up from the Streets" is clearly in love with its subject and wants everyone to feel that love as well. If only it had as much rhythm as the city that inspired it. Go to Full Review Steve Davis Austin Chronicle 05/14/2020
3/5
The musical trope the movie returns to time and time again is the chaotic joy of a brass band strolling down a French Quarter street, attracting people of all stripes to come together and celebrate life, if only for a while. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/18/2020
Writer/director/producer Michael Murphy has crafted a definitive chronicle of New Orleans music in a film with an impressive range that's as entertaining as it is educational. Go to Full Review Sean P. Means The Movie Cricket 05/26/2020
3/4
Engrossing as a documentary, if one can keep up with all the names and subgenres that are mentioned. But to get the full force, find the soundtrack album and listen to it on repeat. Go to Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review 05/23/2020
3/4
Up from the Streets is perhaps more emotionally driven than many music documentaries. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
