"As compelling as the music are the members' life stories and the push-pull dynamic of their creative process; this jazzy documentary by Erik Greenberg Anjou touches on not only Jewish survival but also how to make enduring art in a fluctuating industry."-Chicago Reader. "And it is the songs, with their echoes of loss, love and friendship, as much as the musicians' candid and complex relationship, that makes 'The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground' such a bittersweet and rewarding experience."-The Jewish Journal Boston North. "Mesmerizing"-The Epoch Times. |
