“Although it'll be primarily of interest to longtime fans, LoudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies also serves as a decent introduction to the band's music and enduring appeal.”

RTChicago TribuneNov 2, 2006

Filmmakers Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin catch distressing and poignant moments on the tour that, if written into a fiction film, would seem too scripted to be true.

RTBoston GlobeOct 20, 2006

The 85-minute documentary takes a torpid, fly-on-the-wall approach, providing little context, few insights, and not enough music.

Watching the movie is not as much fun as listening to the old records.

. . .loudQUIETloud is a scream, and easily one of the better films about the business of rocking out.
