CUFF.DOCS screening #10 This isn't a doc, not sure how it got into a doc festival. It's about as real as an episode of Pawn Stars complete with an elderly realitive bumbling around the store. Every interaction is so set up and take it completely took me out of the beauty…
WoodMay 6, 2019Carmine Street Guitars is a simple and lovely documentary capturing the legendary guitar store in the West Village of NYC over the course of five days. A lot of the film is professional musicians stopping in to play guitars and we get to hear them talk about their life and…

Meh.......There was something really cringe and staged about a lot of this. It felt like an extended ad for the store. Not a lot of artistry in the filmmaking. The guitars however were BEAUTIFUL.
Milly GribbenSep 27, 2022Idk why I'd not logged this here before now. Soothing and psychedelic (almost) this doc is the epitome of how artsy special interests should be treated. The depth of convos alone is worth the price of admission.

Probably the most staged and stilted documentary you will ever watch. Its hard to see how this was a Jarmusch 'instigated' project given how it fails to fulfill his hangout style with any authenticity, but despite dramatic problems its dagginess is still winning. It's just…
Luke RobinsonJan 6, 20227.9 [streaming, Kanopy] A portrait of a Greenwich Village guitar shop from which the film takes its name. The shop owner Rick Kelly demonstrates his main work - creating guitars that are made from wood that is scavenged from demolished New York City buildings - and…

When the filmmakers focus on the artists who work there, it is moving and engaging. Despite how fun it is to see your favorite musicians in everyday life, there is not much they say that is interesting.

The doc's a delight for six-string gearheads and a reverie for those who still treasure what remains of pre-Bloomberg, pre-Giuliani New York.

Tender without sentimentality, the doc by Ron Mann is as absorbing as it is understated.
