The Guitar is a lark, at best, but when Burrows' healing indulgence extends to taking on lovers of both sexes, its goofiness acquires a certain hedonistic charm.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

[A] bizarre art-house equiva lent of The Bucket Lisy.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post

That the movie is easy on the eyes (Melody's fetching silhouette against those sunset river views) doesn't make it any less bogus.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Some new directors often opt for minimalism in the hope that less is more. This doesn't work for Amy Redford (Robert's daughter), who transitions from actress to filmmaker with The Guitar.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Rotten
The movie has more cliched rebirths in mind, and you'll resent where it goes.
