He does, but you probably won't, especially from watching this movie.

Like a lazy summer day in the Big Easy, the movie sneaks up on you.

Schorr's award-winning film may be a bit on the slight side to some tastes, but it's a journey well worth taking.

Schultze Gets the Blues can get a little thin, but it never loses its sense of quiet, playful dignity.

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News
Rotten

The first-time feature director has a gift that will be interesting to watch. Still, his well-executed choices make Schultze at times slow going.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
