Top CriticForman's first American film is an idiosyncratic and original take on the generation gap.
06/18/08
Top CriticMr. Forman's specialty is tender farce played out in what are, essentially, very bleak circumstances.
06/18/08
Top CriticAt the time of its release, critics welcomed the Czech-born Forman's skewed perspective on a transitional period of American culture, but today the film, like so much else from the late 60s and early 70s, can best be appreciated as a historical curio.
06/18/08
Top CriticAn engaging, episodic, wonderfully fair-minded satire about runaway children and anxious adults.
06/18/08
Forman’s career pivot point between Prague’s film-school halls and the Oscars podium is still a prime example of the way a foreign director can apply an outsider’s perspective to something like Nixon’s Amerikkka and draw blood.
06/18/08
It remains his [Milos Forman's] best film in and about America.
