| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2012

The film's joke is kind of one-note, although it maintains an exhilarating beat throughout. If Sound of Noise is the rhythm of the new city symphony, play on.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 23, 2012

The movie is a cacophony of sound, fury, silence, ingenuity and inspiration, everything revolving around a scenario that's a silly as it is absurd.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 17, 2012

A high-concept, high-energy lark.

"Sound of Noise" is a dry treat - a solid, self-aware cult pleasure.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 8, 2012

Filmmakers Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson and their engaging cast pull off the feat with no strain and a surprising amount of heart.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 8, 2012

"Sound of Noise" is like no heist movie you've ever seen; these bandits want only to transform a city into a canvas for their special brand of aural art.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 8, 2012

The energy flags whenever the vandals are at rest, and a romantic subplot feels like an afterthought. But Nilsson is a delight, and the filmmakers' own creativity transforms shock into awe.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 8, 2012

Part quirky comedy, part existential mystery, part flash-mob musical.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 8, 2012

Basically Stomp recast as a quirky Swedish comedy, Sound of Noise gets some preliminary mileage out of a gonzo-absurdist premise...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 6, 2012

Quickly loses its novelty and becomes about as bold as a Swedish production of Stomp.

Full Review | Mar 6, 2012

The film is ultimately winning because of its devilish anarchic streak, aiming its arrows at the stuffiness of the traditional musical establishment.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 5, 2012

A delightful comic cocktail of modern city symphony, police procedural and love story.

| Feb 17, 2012

The basic premise of this delightful comedy from Sweden is one of the most imaginative you'll ever see.
