“There are seven Kanneh-Mason siblings, aged from 10 to 24, their parents, Stuart and Kadiatu, speak with knowing passion about the virtue of the arts when it comes to education. Music, they say, should be there for everyone. 'If it’s taken away, the consequences for all children will be terrible.' This is a rare moment of seriousness and depth in an otherwise gentle film, and it’s a shame there are not more discussions like this. It feels old-fashioned. Mostly, it is flawless, though I enjoyed the odd moment of upset, such as the interruption of a performance by Isata by an Amazon delivery. It is more of a compilation tape of performances than it is a documentary about the family. The performances, however, are gorgeous.” Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian
