‘Pragmatism v. Creativity and Music v. Mortality in the Big Easy’ : ONAAT FILM REVIEW
Michael Dornan from Daily Info reviews One note at a time;
‘Sometimes, films really take you by surprise. Director/Producer Renee Edwards has crafted a documentary about the embattled tradition of New Orleans’ musicians, and their struggle for continued habitation and survival after their careers have been made barely tenable by natural disaster, poor flood defences and political machinations.’
‘She avoids polemic, she never appears on camera, and she allows the unique characters and potent grooves to make their own case. Ray Russell’s award-winning score is also remarkable, cohering with the rootsy musical surroundings but tastefully staying sub-radar.’
‘In it Renee Edwards demonstrates the heart, the vision and the breathtaking editorial discipline to make lasting art out of that same struggle.’
