Reviews are in for the filmed concert presentation of David Bryne’s American Utopia, after the Spike Lee-directed special opened the Toronto International Film Festival.

American Utopia features songs from Byrne's 2018 album of the same name, along with hits from his time as Talking Heads frontman and throughout his solo career.
