- 100San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleBeautiful and utterly entrancing documentary.
- Daniel Anker's profound and moving documentary Music from the Inside Out reflects upon such abstractions, capturing the power of the creative process in an uncommonly perceptive and inspiring way.
- 80The New RepublicStanley KauffmannThe New RepublicStanley KauffmannBut Anker's real success here is himself. He was obviously able to get these men and women to open up to him. And thus, quite obliquely, they remind us of a threat. As everyone knows, American symphony orchestras are in trouble. Attendance is dropping, and managements are trying various maneuvers, even stunts, to attract people.
- 75New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanWith a soundtrack that ranges from classical to jazz to bluegrass, this is not only an obvious choice for music lovers, but required viewing for anyone interested in the mysteries of creative inspiration.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceA revealing portrait of painfully withdrawn artists navigating the tug between the divine harmony of an orchestral synthesis and the sweaty glow of individual experimentation.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWell-meaning and enlightening documentary.
- 70Washington PostWashington PostIs it a great film? Not quite. It flits from idea to idea too promiscuously and relies too much on the visually deadening use of people talking on camera. But among the dull passages there are moving stories, and a very loving sympathy for the people it profiles.
- 63Boston GlobeTy BurrBoston GlobeTy BurrDaniel Anker's Music From the Inside Out is so intent on divining the mysteries behind the creative act that it comes up frustratingly short on specifics.
- 50L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasL.A. WeeklyScott FoundasThe result is 90 minutes in the company of some of the nicest and most boring people you can imagine ever having a movie made about them.
