What critics are saying about Song Sung Blue

Craig Brewer's film is a winning pop nostalgia trip with a dark side. By Owen Gleiberman.“Song Sung Blue” is certainly a movie for the bom bom bom crowd. Mostly, though, it’s for the Neil Diamond fans who will listen to Mike and Claire, in their solo show at the Ritz Theater in Milwaukee, in a state of slow-burn bliss. When Mike starts to sing the Arabic chant of “Soolaimon,” Diamond’s single from 1970, it sounds eerie and mysterious, but when the groove kicks in it’s so ecstatic you want to revel in its majesty, the same way Mike does: as a Diamond shining through the darkness.

'Song Sung Blue' Review: Hugh Jackman Leads Neil Diamond ... - Variety

They only improve when they're sharing the screen and showcasing their sweet chemistry. It's their performances that prevent the film from feeling disingenuous. Craig Brewer's direction delivers the most devastating moments in a deliberately shocking fashion and is generally stronger in the first half.
