Critic Reviews of "The Commitments"
TIME MagazineAugust 20, 2008The film offers no message, no solutions, only a great time at the movies.
VarietyMarch 10, 2008Director Alan Parker's story of a band of young Dubliners playing American '60s soul is fresh, well-executed and original.
Chicago ReaderMarch 10, 2008This is probably Alan Parker's best film, in part because it's one of his most modest.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Foul-mouthed, fast-talking and very funny, this is Parker's best to date.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Mr. Parker is capable of whipping a series of quick, well-edited snippets into a happy collage of musical high spirits.
Rolling StoneMay 12, 2001Parker keeps going for the glitz. He may have shot The Commitments in Ireland, but his soul never left Hollywood.
TheBluFile.comAugust 29, 2016Memorable, lingering in one's mind after it has ended. Perhaps, in the end, it's a tad wiser than it initially lets on.
BrianOrndorf.comAugust 16, 2011It's a relaxed, colorful creation, remaining true to rascally human behaviors while respecting the unifying power of music. Downright irresistible.
Combustible CelluloidJune 06, 2008Does a remarkable job of balancing a feel of lower-class life with the sheer exuberance the music brings.
TV GuideMarch 10, 2008This typically slick but largely enjoyable Alan Parker offering is the story of the rise and demise of a young Irish soul band.
Film4March 10, 2008Sharply written and executed with real verve, this is an enduring and enjoyable comedy-drama that showcases some great performances both on and off-stage.
