The picture gently caricatures the folk music scene with dozens of delicate brush strokes, creating a picture that's increasingly, gloriously funny -- as in entire lines of dialogue are lost because the audience's laughing so hard.

New York Magazine (Vulture)
Achingly funny movie...Guest has cultivated a stock company of players whose work together is so intuitively sharp that it seems to redefine the boundaries of acting.

The jokes would be funny even if they weren't perfectly timed, but what makes them come across as so poignant is the seriousness with which the director and his co-conspirators deliver their jabs and japes.

Slate
Almost to a one, the people Guest casts are virtuosos, and he lets them hit notes they can't hit anywhere else.

More of a warm breeze than a great gust, but its simple, smart pleasures carry the force of a hurricane.
