For a band whose music is suffused with such delicate irony, you'd expect at the very least for there to be a few laughs along the way? There are none. Nothing. Zero.
David Jenkins, Time Out
Overview
A musical set in the Prohibition-era American South, where a speakeasy performer and club manager Rooster must contend with gangsters who have their eyes on the club while his piano player and partner Percival must choose between his love, Angel or his obligations to his father.

You don't have to have a stylistic device in every single shot.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Shakespeare has been quoted many, many times over the past 400 or so years, but never to such empty purpose as in the inchoate, self-indulgent musical drama Idlewild
Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal
Rotten
By jumbling genres, fashions, music and locales, and riddling bullets through much of it, Idlewild ends up feeling disjointed and disquieting.
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Rotten
A series of pretty-good pop videos wrapped around a confusing tale of Chitlin' Circuit striving and conniving.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
