“Move over Slumdog Millionaire, here’s a feel-good film to really sing about” Ben Machell, The Times
“There have been plenty of cute-kids-competing documentaries of late, including notable hits Mad Hot Ballroom and Spellbound. Still, Sounds Like Teen Spirit delights afresh, not only because its kids are (surprise!) so cute, but because the competition in question – the Junior Eurovision Song Contest – is unbeatably, garishly colorful. Treated with just the right mix of affection and amusement sans condescension by debuting helmer Jamie J. Johnson” Dennis Harvey, Variety
“You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll sing-a-long…a brilliant, brilliant film” James King, Radio 1
“Unmissable” David Edwards, Daily Mirror
