Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
If . . . is so good and strong that even those things in the movie that strike me as being first-class mistakes are of more interest than entire movies made by smoothly consistent, lesser directors.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
A modern classic in which Anderson minutely captures both the particular ethos of a public school and the general flavour of any structured community.
– Stephen Garrett,

24 Jun 2006
fresh:
A film of tremendous resonance, coming when it did in 1968 with the force of a grenade.
– Elliott Stein,
Village Voice,
9 May 2007
rotten:
The film finally succumbs to its own abstraction with an ending that satisfies neither symbolism nor wish fulfillment.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
9 May 2007
fresh:
Punchy, poetic pic that delves into the epic theme of youthful revolt.
