| Visual Audio The Talking Heads’ exuberance is infectious, but it wouldn’t count for much if they weren’t playing their instruments with such skill and intensity. The A.V. Club, 12.08.09 |
| Stop Making Sense on Bluray ...I was simply overwhelmed and only my natural Catholic inhibitions kept me from dancing in the aisles. Michael Giltz, The Huffington Post, 10.30.09 |

| How well does the concert film age? ...What struck me as even more impressive a quarter century later — on the 25th anniversary of the film’s 1984 theatrical release — is just how much the Talking Heads gave those of us in the audience to think about, see, hear and feel simultaneously. Randy Lewis, The Los Angeles Times, 10.05.09 |
| Stop Making Sense Stop Making Sense is a prime example of the best way to make a perfect concert movie.

| Stop Making Sense Jonathan Demme's Talking Heads concert film, "Stop Making Sense," is one of those miracle movies, a picture that seems to have come together by laws unto itself.

It merely exists, like some inexplicable and wonderful quirk of nature: a redwood, a toad with fabulous markings or something that just mysteriously appeared on a lily pad one day. Salon.com, 09.16.99 |
| Three Cheers Seeing the movie is like going to an austere orgy—which turns out to be just what you wanted. …[I]n its own terms, the movie is close to perfection. Pauline Kael, The New Yorker, 11.26.84 |
