Under the Volcano Ratings & Reviews
Loud and Clear Reviews
Serena Seghedoni
there's much more to AIR Montserrat, and to the island, than what is shown in the film.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Under the Volcano captures a moment in time during this must-watch documentary about the intimate AIR Studios Montserrat recording studio.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Almost 40 years later, it's hilarious to see Stewart Copeland speak of Sting with still-fresh feelings of exasperation, irritation and admiration.
Variety
Chris Willman
The doc will be catnip to the class of record nerds who care about which great records came out of which bygone studios... and this one certainly offers better scenery than, say, the Van Nuys-set "Sound City."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A documentary well worth seeing for any serious rock music buff.
Film Inquiry
Tynan Yanaga
Although this is a relatively obscure piece of music history, fans will no doubt relish getting to know a bit more about George Martin's one-of-a-kind recording mecca.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
It really does point out the impact of environment on music making in a very direct way.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
It's very safe in its structure, but some of the stories are riveting.

Brian Orndorf
Otto gathers interviews from those involved with the studio to best understand how this building and vibe managed to inspire some of the best albums of the 1980s. And yes, there are wonderful stories contained within.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The nostalgic music documentary Under the Volcano takes viewers back to a bygone era of recording studios. It's a comprehensive history of AIR Studios Montserrat, which operated from 1979 to 1989 ... [A] joy to anyone who's a fan of 1980s rock and pop.
Sarah's Backstage Pass
Sarah Knight Adamson
"Under the Volcano"offers a captivating look at Air Studios Montserrat's decade-long run by George Martin. The studio, on an island in the West Indies in the late 1970s-away from city life distractions.
Austin Chronicle
Shane Pfender
Instead of allowing the viewer to come to their own conclusions, this feel-good rock documentary hypnotizes its viewers with the endlessly repeated sentiment of how amazing the Seventies were.
