New Times (L.A.) by Gregory Weinkauf

Not to be missed.

Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington

It's so thoroughly engaging, so beautifully made, strikingly shot and chock-full of humor and humanity, I can't imagine any intelligent audience not falling in love with it - if only they take the leap of faith to see it.

The New York Times by Dave Kehr

Consistently offbeat and entertaining; at such moments, it is also quite moving.

Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector

Jensen's use of the conventions of documentary making -- and his undermining of them in ways both bold and subtle -- seems too canny and consistent for the form. Yet the harder I try to decide whether this is a documentary or a parody, the more I wonder why it matters.

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

Unusual and utterly disarming documentary.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Carrie Rickey

Ranging in age from 30 to 96, the Berlevag men clearly enjoy being on camera and are unusually candid about their various pasts as Casanovas and hashish addicts.

Boston Globe

Jensen's charming film, is perhaps one of the first in which the actors are credited not by the size of their salaries and egos, but by their vocal ranges.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

Every time things start to get dull, you're brought up short by another moment of surprising beauty.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

Berlevag's 1300 inhabitants are by nature hardy and uncomplaining, but Knut Erik Jensen's unhurried documentary reveals that there's more to them than mere stoicism.

Village Voice by Ed Park

If music be the food of love, Cool & Crazy could stand a few more hits from the spice rack.
