There's nothing much to the film besides its pretty-coolness. Fundamentally it goes nowhere and says nothing.

Funny to me, but maybe not for everyone. Hell, I don't care, you're either in the category of the type of person who will like this or you're not. The choice is yours, but anyone pre-disposed to like this type of film will be happy they took the trip.

The movie plays out like a over-budget student film that lacks any of the competence and patience of an experienced director.

Films about filmmaking are always risky ... However, in the capable hands of Roman Coppola, “CQ” becomes less a self-reflexive film and more of a documentation of a playful period in cinema.

CQ will likely appeal to a younger crowd, who may not catch all the cinematic references but will love the mishmash nature of this cinematic stew.

Love alone does not make a film watchable, no matter how much of it there is. Davies and company are up to the task, but the material is weak. Coppola has a lot of ideas; he just needs to find a more coherent, entertaining way of expressing them.

It may not be art, but it's vastly more entertaining than anything Coppola senior has done in far too long.

Pull[s] off the rare trick of recreating not only the look of a certain era, but also the feel.

A film that is visually compelling and highly entertaining in an in-jokey sort of way.

'CQ may one day be fondly remembered as Roman Coppola's brief pretentious period before going on to other films that actually tell a story worth caring about
