Critic Reviews

What a lovely film this is, so gentle and whimsical, so simple and profound.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

It's not a perfect movie, and it does not aspire to be a great one. It's just wonderful.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

Rib-ticklingly funny at times and genial as all get-out.Full Review

Todd McCarthy
Variety

Not since Woody Allen's "Radio Days" has anyone created such a cinematic Valentine to the wonderfully imaginative medium of radio as A Prairie Home Companion.Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter

Both magical and consistently joyous. The director, Robert Altman, and the writer, Garrison Keillor, have, against all odds, transmuted the fatigued public radio institution into a lovely fable about mortality, fleeting fame, fondness for the past and the ineffable beauty of life in the present.Full Review
