Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 03/21/2016
Featuring outstanding performances and making excellent use of its scenic New Orleans locations, the film handles its delicate subject matter with a deeply affecting emotional restraint. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 03/03/2016
It's too bad that a movie so lovingly steeped in music hasn't more rhythm and flow. Go to Full Review Joe Bendel Epoch Times 05/18/2016
3.5/5
While Adams does not always skirt every potentially melodramatic pitfall cleanly, the cast and the music always propel the film forward. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 03/04/2016
2/4
...a well-intentioned yet wholly ineffective true-life drama. Go to Full Review Ernest Hardy L.A. Weekly 03/01/2016
The whole thing is held together by performances that are superb across the board, Adams' assured direction and delicate, beautiful work by both director of photography Tom Lembcke and composer Carlos Jos Alvarez. Go to Full Review John Wirt Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) 02/12/2016
3/4
"Of Mind and Music," an intimately told story with few characters, surprises with unexpected impact, thanks to the talented cast and the powerful dual forces of music and human kindness. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
