Stop Making Sense Review Quotes
- 4 stars "There are few legitimate must-see films that come
down the pike, but 'Sense' is one of them" - Chicago Sun Times
- 4 stars "'Stop Making Sense' still burns down the house...It
worked wonderfully in 1984, and 15 years later the remixed and
remastered 'Sense' still enthralls, its status undiminished as
one of the great rock concert movies." - Chicago Tribune
- "Time stands still in 'Stop Making Sense,' the sensational
and eminently danceable concert documentary film...If you weren't
a fan or never saw this film during its 1984 release, then you
owe it to yourself to see it on a big screen with its crystal
clear soundtrack." - Marshall Fine, Gannett Newspapers
- "In fact, nearly every live rock movie since has been disappointing
- none nearly as honest." - Philadelphia Weekly
- 'Stop Making Sense' says rousing 15 years later because Byrne's
avid cross-cultural fertilization steps center stage as never
before." - Armond White, NY press
- "Rock movies don't come any livlier than Jonathan Demme's
superb Talking Heads concert flick." Time Out NY
- 4 stars " And it's still the best concert film ever made."
- Jami Bernard, NY Daily News
