San Francisco Chronicle -
The result is an excellent film - entertaining and informative and sometimes stunning in its display of the personal demons shared by these two geniuses.

|
Village Voice -
Boys is first-rate cinema archaeology. What pushes it beyond that is the brutal honesty with which the sibling rivalry between the elder Shermans is depicted; theirs is a palpable mixture of love and disdain that led to the men not socializing with each other for more than 40 years.

Variety -
Engaging documentary draws on plentiful archival footage and A-list interviewees, and should lure dedicated nostalgists.
|
|
New York Daily News -
A vital one for movie fans.

Los Angeles Times -
The Boys is so heartfelt that it elicits a sense that complex creative relationships may ultimately elude explication, leaving Jeffrey Sherman to speculate that the friction between his father and his uncle was what brought their songs alive.
