...does a surprisingly good job of making us believe in the slightly preposterous idea of KK recording an album on the streets of New York.

...at den føles som et stort og varmt kram skyldes alene Carneys evne til at skabe ægte øjeblikke midt i det kunstige og hans to skuespilleres vilje til at finde lag i deres figurer, som knapt kan anes på manuskriptplan.

Carney är duktig på att berätta visuellt. Mycket av storyn är ett förtäckt sätt att visa Manhattanbilder till musik.

...denne absolutte fornøjelse af en sommerfilm (...) overrasker positivt med et stærkt fokus på glæden ved selvrealisering frem for romantisk plidder-pladder.
