“’Music Within’ adds a healthy dose of humor”
ANTHONY BREZNICAN / USA TODAY

"Entertaining and Inspiring!"
ROGER EBERT / CHICAGO SUN TIMES

"Livingston has to be one of the most likable actors this side of
Tom Hanks and carries the film admirably."
KEVIN CRUST / LOS ANGELES TIMES

"Michael Sheen is remarkable. He’s utterly convincing, and the humanity he brings to the part only helps drive home the film’s social issues."
JOHN ANDERSON / DAILY VARIETY

"An Inspirational film that enlightens as it entertains."
MICHAEL DEEDS / IDAHO STATESMAN

"If Michael Sheen doesn’t at least get an Oscar nomination for his performance as Pimentel’s friend Art Honeyman, then there must be five stellar performances waiting in the wings for us to see because he is that good."
JOHN BLACK / BOSTON NOW

"Livingston, turns in a finely honed performance; the movie works both as a comedy and a drama largely to his abilities."
KILLIAN MELLOY / EDGE BOSTON

"Persons with disabilities are often those seemingly empty people that we see briefly and then only out of the corner of our eye. After viewing "Music Within" when you see persons with disabilities, you will know absolutely that there is someone in there and they are worth knowing."
RICHARD PIMENTEL / MUSIC WITHIN WAS BASED ON HIS LIFE STORY

"This is a must see film for every American. Opportunities are what you make of them and Richard Pimentel's life story reminds us of that America owes a twice debt to its Veterans, Service Disabled Veterans, Guard and Reserve. First, for putting on the uniform of our country and serving to protect the interests of our nation; and then upon their return to civilian life serve once again with a keen dedication and commitment gained through that service. This indomitable Veteran spirit is seen across the globe in towns and cities and Music Within serves to remind us that one person does indeed make a difference."
WALTER G. BLACKWELL / PRESIDENT AND CEO THE VETERANS CORPORATION

"Music Within tells the story of one man, but it is an authentic portrait of the early years of what has become a global phenomenon -- the disability rights movement. Kudos to everyone involved in bringing this story to the big screen. I hope it will inspire thousands of Richard Pimentel's around the world to continue the work and add to the music."
ANDREW IMPARATO / PRESIDENT AND CEO AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

“A brilliant film that puts a human face on people with disabilities! While the story is personal, it tracks the struggle of the disability community for equal rights, one of the most-overlooked civil rights movements of our time.”

“As a person with a disability and primary author of the Americans with Disabilities Act, I applaud The Music Within for its eloquent expression of our journey for equal rights in American society.”

“There are films that are entertaining, and there are films that make an important social statement – go see The Music Within if you want a film that does both”
TONY COELHO / AUTHOR OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

“Singing the highest praise for ‘Music Within’”

“Everyone should see this movie – even if you don’t like to laugh”

“Only two kinds of people will love this movie:
those with disabilities and those without”

“I laughed, I cried, I ran out of popcorn”
