Entertainment Reviews:
It's fun to be a fly on the wall in these recording sessions held in historic spaces, and the camaraderie and respect between the players is evident.

A moving tribute to a grand piece of Americana.

Rating: D+ --
Take Me to the River is a good-spirited but patchy documentary, less about dropping beats and more about dropping names.

Consequence of Sound
Rating: 2/5 --
There's some talk about the collaboration's significance, and there's some racially charged history to relate, but the real point is to hear these oldsters one last time, to remember and maybe even discover what they gave us.

The film's interest in contemporary performers doesn't rob it of a sense of history.

While you may stick around for the stories, the film's true draw is the music.

The Film Stage
Rating: 2.5/4 --
"Take Me to the River" includes just enough history of the civil rights era to lend it gravitas. The color-blind recording practices of studios like Stax were an anomaly at the time and are well worth noting.
