Tampa Tribune

"Outstanding musical documentary follows singer-writer Sophie B. Hawkins as she prepares for a national tour and discusses her artistic and emotional growth. Artfully phrased songs, lively instrumentation and Hawkins' rangy vocals help lighten some otherwise demanding material: Hawkins is as tough on herself as on those who argue with her. Director Gigi Gaston gets so close to her subject that she, too, is drawn into occasional confrontation." - Bob Ross

In choosing Sophie B. Hawkins as her documentary subject, Gigi Gaston, director of "The Cream Will Rise," could not have done better. Hawkins comes across as volatile, complex, spontaneous and willing to expose all in a fascinating film shot over the three months of Hawkins' 1996 Moxy Tour. - Stewart Oksenhorn
