The Chorus Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Nelson Pressley
Ultimately effective on its own unambitious terms, but it's not the freshest thing to come down the pike.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
We smile and maybe even weep on cue, but we're still kept at a distance looking in, peering through a pretty window.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
It says nothing new about its well-worn theme of teacher as deliverer.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Simple, slight and a bit saccharine, Les Choristes may satisfy a sweet tooth, but anyone wishing to bite deeply into something will be disappointed.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Barratier seems to have culled the stereotypes, situations and sentiments from dozens of similar movies, including the more dramatically satisfying Mr. Holland's Opus.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Thanks to a pitch-perfect performance by Grard Jugnot as the teacher who brings music to a cacophonous school, the familiarity of The Chorus never breeds contempt -- or boredom. Far from it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This feels more like a Hollywood wannabe than a French film. Where's the quirkiness, the nuance, the deeper levels?
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The crime of The Chorus isn't that it's corny. (I like corny.) It's that its corniness seems programmed.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Sure Chorus may be sentimental cheese, but it comes directly from the heart.
Dallas Morning News
Mario Tarradell
It's a thoughtful, moving celebration of hope and resilience that doesn't turn sappy or manipulative.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
It is treacly, dishonest and stuffed with clichs like a Christmas goose.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The choral numbers, many with lyrics written by Barratier (a classically trained guitarist), are lovely.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
We've heard that tune many times before.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Corny it may be, but The Chorus does connect. Like all good popular entertainments, the best of it sings.
Premiere Magazine
Peter Debruge
It's basically just another watered-down version of Dead Poets Society and countless other inspirational-teacher films, but its emotional impact is undeniable.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
This film really isn't about surprising us. It's about hitting all the right notes with grace and warmth. On that level, it's a sweet gem.
Observer
Rex Reed
Well acted by the kids and adults alike, and directed convincingly but without a trace of artistry by Christophe Barratier, it is cuddly, sentimental and harmless.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Les Choristes simply shouldn't work. The story is beyond banal and the cliches involved go beyond even the most routine these genres almost always offer. And yet I was moved, sometimes deeply...
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
All the characters are flat-out stereotypes; there isn't a surprising plot twist in sight, and even the singing is nothing to write home about.
