A joyous ode to a lost era of music making that will delight music buffs and those who appreciate a well-done documentary.
A cocky, affectionate and very musical documentary that may make its central point a few times too often.
In his directing debut, Dave Grohl shows the instincts of a real filmmaker. Sound City hits you like a shot in the heart.
Even if you don't know what [Grohl's] talking about when he says a room gives "great decay," or when somebody else extols "24-track sensibility," the passion of this project really pops right out of the groove.
If it doesn't break any ground as a documentary, it's a heartfelt testament to a place he considers among the most hallowed halls of rock.
High-spirited, emotional and funny, "Sound City" is, of all things, a mash note to a machine. Not just any machine, however, but one that helped change the face of rock 'n' roll.
There's something rock about the film's messy, nostalgic imperfection.
Fascinating, as rock history, thrilling as rock entertainment.
Grohl has ... created both a fascinating account of the process of analogue recording and a tender tribute to the rock bands of yesteryear.
A rich, kaleidoscopic, rock music documentary.
A total blast to watch, sustaining momentum with a sharp admiration for the thrilling highs and lows of the complex and its rich history with some of the biggest artists around.
It's a sprawling documentary that laments what's been lost in analog recording without ignoring the benefits of technology.
Loving doc about a legendary recording studio is one of the very best-and quite essential-movies about rock music ever made.
... offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the studio, but in the process chronicles a recent history of rock music that both fans and non-fans can appreciate.
An authoritative, beautifully assembled, personal, even romantic account of one of rock music's most important waypoints, a film which aficionados absolutely should not miss.
An electrifying and enthralling labor of love that acts as a defibrillator for your creative juices.
