"***½ Beguiling! A lovely reminder that music and movement just
may
hold the secret to eternal youth.” –Chicago Tribune
“*****Enchanting! Splendid slice of African American history” -New York Beacon
"Marvelous...a real treasure!" -The New Yorker "Awe-inspiring and delightful" -New York Sun
“Still bustin’ a move . . . whooping up a whole lotta somethin' in front of sold-out crowds.
The Silver Belles are bold, brash, and gorgeously awake, and their willingness
to live large is thrilling. -Village Voice, Critics’ Pick
"Richly uplifting! Inspirational to young and old alike." - Hollywood Reporter
“Full of mischief… yet emotionally resonant.” - Seattle Times
“Money has little to do with the kind of emotional wealth shared so generously in Been Rich All My
Life. Good times and bum times, they've
seen it all
and they're still here. Lucky us.” -Entertainment Weekly
"What happens to a chorus girl when her high kick starts to sag? If she’s one of the Silver Belles, the
toe-tapping quintet at the heart of Heather Lyn MacDonald’s affectionate documentary, she keeps
right on
hoofin’ until the almighty takes her tap shoes away." -Los Angeles Times
