Stop Making Sense
40th Anniversary, 4K Restored Cinema Re-Release!
“The movie is the finest imaginable version of the Talking Heads’ Speaking in Tongues tour. The concert’s physical staging elements, introduced in pieces and segments, with elegant and wryly suggestive words, create an aura of pristine unease.”
- Michael Philips, Chicago Tribune
“This movie is pure fun and sheer exuberance transferred onto celluloid and perfectly re-created at the other end. Experiencing what Demme and the Talking Heads have crafted with this motion picture makes perfect sense."
- James Berardinelli, ReelViews
“The pleasure of the music is overpowering."
- Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
