Coppola's fourth feature, a fascinating early road movie made entirely on location with a minimal crew and a constantly evolving script.
Tom Milne, Time Out

As for Coppola and his world, It's difficult to say whether his film is successful or not. That's the beautiful thing about a lot of the new, experimental American directors.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Like its main character, the movie hits the road with no final destination in mind, and the manic inventiveness that sustains the early passages becomes strained and weird by the end.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
