The Guitar Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The Guitar is a lark, at best, but when Burrows' healing indulgence extends to taking on lovers of both sexes, its goofiness acquires a certain hedonistic charm.
Boxoffice Magazine
Sara Maria Vizcarrondo
A strong, kind-hearted start to a hopefully active career [for director Amy Redford].
Film Journal International
David Noh
An interesting premise is weakened by directorial callowness, tonal uncertainty and an unengaging central performance.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
[A] bizarre art-house equiva lent of The Bucket Lisy.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
That the movie is easy on the eyes (Melody's fetching silhouette against those sunset river views) doesn't make it any less bogus.
About.com
Marcy Dermansky
I was seduced by Melody's story. Sucked in, enjoying Amy Redford's film despite myself.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Some new directors often opt for minimalism in the hope that less is more. This doesn't work for Amy Redford (Robert's daughter), who transitions from actress to filmmaker with The Guitar.
New York Press
Mark Peikert
After spending 45 of the movie's 95 minutes in an orgy of consumerism, The Guitar suddenly speeds up its tempo and begins bombarding us with plot developments.
Observer
Rex Reed
Written by Amos Poe and directed with moxie by Amy Redford, it's the ultimate movie about optimism.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Interesting only in showing how tin-eared scriptwriting (by Amos Poe) can make 2008 New York City seem less familiar than 1952 Japan.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
You have to see it for yourself. It is that out-of-the-depths triumphant.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Without its weirdo visual flourishes, The Guitar would be completely reprehensible.
Film Threat
Zack Haddad
To be brutally honest, there are many other things I would rather do with my final days than sit through this clichd mess all over again.
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
A sobering and resonant tale.
Variety
Justin Chang
This beguiling wisp of a film charms and maddens in equal measure.
