1 - 8 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
There's no denying the film is unpolished, but it has an earthy soul.
05/01/09
Forget West 47th Street -- and the only Jazz in Lindsey Christian's dull indie soap opera is an aspiring funk singer by that name who lives in a diamond-shaped part of the District of Columbia.

Some dreams will be realized, some dashed, but audiences, having been dragged through this story too many times, won’t care which.

Top CriticJazz is just another reefer-ridden, albeit earnest, tale of love, loss and evil New Yorkers taking advantage.

The music, with its infectious energy, together with Ms. Cameron’s onstage charisma makes Jazz in the Diamond District well worth seeing.

This cliche-ridden story of two sisters with artistic ambitions rarely rises above school-talent-show skill level and production values.
