Format:DVD
I saw this film in our local cinema in France and the audience was giving the film a standing ovation! One of the most touching, beautiful, sad and uplifting films I've ever seen.
We both, my Hero Husband and myself, are singing in choirs, are playing instruments and thus tremendously enjoyed this unexpected gift by Stephen Walker and the incredibly 'fine tuned' Bob Cilman.
Should you only watch one film in a very long time, please go and watch this! You will not regret it! Can't wait for the DVD to come out; I would recommend it to everybody who is occasionally feeling blue, feels old or left aside.... it restores your spirit in minutes and deepens your laughter lines! It's a WOW - SMILE film with a deeper message: If you have the right attitude, you CAN ....

Having just seen the film here in France twice, the only thing stopping me from going a third time is that I shall buy the DVD when it becomes available in March 2009. Wonderful subject matter, the joy brought to themselves and others by a choir of 73- to 92-year-olds, along with inevitable sadnesses given their ages; the talent of the charismatic young (53) musical director, Bob Cilman, who has the choir - and me - actually enjoying rock, punk and heavy metal; and the sensitive and moving film direction of Stephen Walker. I'm too young to join them myself (63), and for the moment I'm still busy conducting a choir of my own (average age 60), but sadly when I qualify by age, no doubt Bob Cilman will have given up himself - he founded the group some 25 years ago - otherwise I'd be considering emigrating again !

Utterly brilliant. I first saw it when it aired on UK TV two years ago and have been hoping for a DVD release ever since.
The best documentary I've ever seen, by turns funny, poignant but ultimately so uplifting and life-affirming. The prison concert was particularly moving.
I'll never look at elderly people in quite the same way from now on. Superb!

Excellent video
You would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by this documentary. Very few things live up to the label of 'life affirming' but this really does.
