Good concept, poorly executed.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Once again, Celtic Woman blows my mind! This is Celtic Woman's first televised concert featuring Lisa Lambe. Sure, she can't replace Orla Fallon or Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, but she's excellent in her own way - she can sing really well, she's definitely got the looks for Celtic Woman, and she can play the spoons! And as always, Lisa Kelly, Chloe Agnew, and Mairead Nesbitt totally are completely incredible and beautiful as well.This performance begins with the epic song "Awakening" and ends with a very powerful performance of the classic Irish song "The Parting Glass". It also features excellent covers of songs well-known all over the world, like "Sailing" (by Rod Stewart) and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (by Simon and Garfunkel), as well as a phenomenal tribute to Broadway featuring "I Dreamed a Dream" and "The Circle of Life". Of course, it also features original songs, such as the short and sweet "Smile" and of course, "Awakening". And Mairead Nesbitt's "The Foxhunter" is fast-paced and fun and absolutely mind-blowing.Like with "Songs from the Heart", I can see a lot of "old" Celtic Woman fans being somewhat skeptical, as "Believe" is very different from "The New Journey" and Celtic Woman's first concert. Although I prefer the "old" Celtic Woman myself, I absolutely adored "Believe" and I'm sure many loyal Celtic Woman fans will enjoy it as well. Like all of their performances, there is a little something for everyone in "Believe", and I'm very grateful to them for introducing me to many traditional Irish songs that I would have never heard before if it weren't for their glorious covers of them. They are definitely one of the best Irish groups in the world (if not THE best!).I highly recommend "Believe" for any Celtic Woman fanatic, any Irish music lover, and for anyone who likes great music.

This show was meant to reflect something of Celtic music culture, but its extravagant, mainly awful production put paid to what little authenticity it may have begun with. The previous reviewer was accurate with their description of the singers being Barby dolls brought to life. Their singing gestures, ball gowns and choreography belonged to the corny era of musical comedy of 100 years ago. I don't know who these women are, but what they did here gives bands like Clannad (Enya) and The Corrs a bad name.What mostly offended my senses and greatly annoyed me was that everything these women sang was clearly LIP SYNCHED. Of course their middle American audience loved every minute of this type of dumbed down concert.

I'm white, but when I saw this show I was like, "Dayum, that's too white for me!" Aside from a trite selection of songs (mainly covers of well-known songs sung in unimaginative lyrical style with banal "Celtic" arrangements), I continuously scratched my head and wondered why. This show belongs in one of those big shiny churches adorned with shiny white crosses, and not in the public. How many Kinkaid paintings could one have sold in the parking lot after that show, I wonder?And the costuming was the worst I've ever seen outside a community center ballet; truly the worst tailoring and dress designs imaginable. Normally not important, but I tried to keep myself interested in something about the show.
