Carmine Street Guitars Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Experiencing this documentary without encountering any advance hype is like stumbling into the cozy Greenwich Village shop of the title: it's a ride down the rabbit hole to a world of unexpected and singular pleasures.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Mann allows his camera to simply exist in the space...he just happens to be there when magic is being created and artistry is at play.

Paula Farmer
As a sort of video capsule of an important part of New York history, Carmine Street Guitars is sweet and simple, presenting a necessary message of embracing the arts, while supporting local and independent businesses.
POV Magazine
Pat Mullen
The film harkens back to Mann's earliest and arguably best work, like the free jazz doc Imagine the Sound and the who's who of rhythm and words Poetry in Motion.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
[A] leisurely Sunday stroll of a documentary about the cozy Greenwich Village mainstay in New York City that has served as a sanctuary for musicians.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Carmine Street Guitars is an affectionate, somewhat elegiac glimpse into a master and a craft that, like so much of the surrounding neighborhood, is steadily being corporately gentrified.
Book & Film Globe
Stephen Garrett
His ethos: a contemplative connection between the durability of nature and the ethereal power of music. It's pure. And it's pure bliss.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A loving tribute to a true craftsman.

Sheila O'Malley
The subject is so interesting, and the music played by these people is so gorgeous.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
While this approach yields results that are sometimes a little stilted, the movie is mostly as sweet as it is informative.

Edward Havens
Carmine Street Guitars is, essentially, about pure love. A pure love of a craft. A pure love of the music, and a pure love a city. A pure love of creation.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
The film celebrates the thingness of things, as well as the assuring clarity and lucidity that can arise from devotion to knowledge.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"Carmine Street Guitars" is a one-of-a-kind documentary that exudes a gentle, homespun magic.
That Shelf
Courtney Small
Whether it is the engaging conversations or the delicate performances, Mann's film is as enchanting as the guitar themselves.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
A treat for music fans, a close up look at Rick Kelly's Greenwich Village guitar shop, a hub for musicians and the master craftsman who happens to be a gifted storyteller.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
At its core, this is the story of a master craftsman told whilst we watch him at work. You don't need to know the first thing about guitars to be drawn in by it.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
Carmine Street Guitars sounds like it'd be far more engaging than winds up being.
The Young Folks
Nathanael Hood
Light, breezy, and comforting, much like an afternoon browsing a guitar shop.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Shot over one week, this charming doc grows on you gradually like a good morning cup of coffee or an after-dinner drink.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A little gem for both guitar heads and lovers of old New York.
