BBC Paul Adrendt The Band's Visit is the kind of film that will appeal to patient viewers: charming, low-budget whimsy with a soupcon of political relevance. | 10 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The Band’s Visit has not provided any of the narrative payoffs we might have expected, but has provided something more valuable. | 20 | |
eye Weekly Jason Anderson Charming and quietly profound | 15 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli A drama about isolation and communication, The Band's Visit is characterized both by strongly delineated characters and low-key comedy. The movie is not lightweight but it is at times lighthearted. | 15 | |
