Say Amen Somebody
"The most exuberant and revitalizing musical in years
perhaps since Martin Scorsese's THE LAST WALTZ."
Michael Sragow, Rolling Stone
"Nierenberg's achievement here is a masterpiece of
research, diligence and direction. But his work would be
meaningless if the movie didn’t convey the spirit of the
people in it, and Say Amen, Somebody does that with great and
mighty joy. This is a great experience." ****
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
"Say Amen, Somebody is a movie to which even a tone-deaf
atheist will say amen."
Richard Schickel, Time Magazine
