Reviews

The film emerges as a powerful, even shattering look as music's power to unite where it once divided.

Unpretentious and unexpectedly moving.

An effectively emotional look at the power of music therapy to trigger memories lost after brain surgery.

Variety
The novel premise and otherwise nuanced performances are enough to hold attention.
70
In key spots, thanks to Simmons' brilliantly wounded gruffness and Pucci's nimble toggling act between vacancy and awakened spirit, The Music Never Stopped achieves an admirable poignancy about our emotional, healing relationship to the songs we love.
