Six by Sondheim Ratings & Reviews
Arts Fuse
Gerald Peary
This program is Lapine's heartfelt gift to his great musical theatre collaborator.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
All told, it is a mess - but it is a tuneful and happy mess centered around a charismatic musical genius, and the film will certainly delight Broadway devotees.
Windy City Times
Richard Knight
A rich portrait of this great treasure of the American musical.
TV Guide
Matt Roush
In HBO's fascinating documentary portrait Six by Sondheim, longtime collaborator James Lapine assembles an intricate and revealing mosaic of vintage and recent interviews with the always quotable Sondheim.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
Lapine's direction is almost the star of Six by Sondheim. Not only has he used the six songs to illuminate the composer's life, he organizes years and years of interviews as if they are an ongoing conversation - which, in many ways, they are.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
Six by Sondheim's awareness of its own design is unobtrusively embedded beneath every moment of the film, like a refrain buried so deep in a musical's score that the ear doesn't register it until the final curtain.
New York Daily News
David Hinckley
Six is tour of his past, with special emphasis on a half-dozen tunes.
Wall Street Journal
Nancy DeWolf Smith
Despite the music in James Lapine's documentary, Six By Sondheim, it is archival clips of Mr. Sondheim describing how he writes that make the film a treasure.
Variety
Brian Lowry
It's always challenging to capture the essence of such artistry on film, and Lapine comes pretty close.
Newsday
Linda Winer
Riveting, important and lots of fun.
NPR
Bob Mondello
Countless backstage stories, culled mostly from interviews and archival footage, are assembled in Six by Sondheim into the story of a life - and a life's work.
