Buena Vista Social Club: Adios

"The approach is pretty conventional, but the characters are so brilliant you'd struggle not to be swept up in it all."

"... Cuba's geriatric music troupe get a touching send-off in Lucy Walker's hagiographic but moving documentary."

"Both an exemplary sequel and a vital, informative companion piece."

"[A] thoughtful if somewhat scattered documentary..."

"Adios is less engaging than Walker's earlier work, with little of the poeticism she displayed in Waste Land and The Crash Reel. It surely doesn't help that she's stuck picking through Wenders' leftovers..."

"Despite any shackles, social or otherwise, music will always serve as a mode of liberation, an expression of love, and Buena Vista Social Club: Adios passionately asserts that idea."

"After Adios, many longtime fans will want to chase the taste away with a stiff shot of the old stuff."
