Reviews

Most engaging! Showstopping!

An enticing introduction to an appealing and unique form of music.
Lee Jeske, New York Post

Enlightening and entertaining.
Harper Barnes, St. Louis Post Dispatch

A delightful rhythm that is all its own.
Julie Salamon, The Wall Street Journal

Most educational and enjoyable.
Congressman Mervyn M. Dymally

A spicy combination of intoxicating sound and dazzling sights.
Jabari Asim, St. Louis American

Not just about music and musicians, but an examination of cultures. A credit to the film and its creators.
John Anderson, New York Newsday

A true and vivid description of the art form, one of the most enjoyable documentaries I have ever seen.
Learie Rousseau, Consul General, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago

Along with Don't Look Back, the best of all is One Hand Don't Clap. This'll look --- and sound --- just as good 25 years from now.
Kevin Whitehead, Down Beat

Dutta finds an unusual balance so that the performers present themselves candidly and memorably.
Armond White, The City Sun

A powerful documentary that should delight lovers of calypso and arouse the curiosity of strangers to the genre.
Wayne Anderson, Carib News

Kavery Dutta's vivid and engaging documentary moves and shakes with inimitable music.
Luis Francia, The Village Voice

The foot-stomping One Hand Don't Clap deserves a round of applause.
