Critics' reviews
- "Forman has managed to recreate with amazing accuracy the rebellious mood and irreverent spirit of those confusing times."
- "There is much to recommend in this film, and sheer energy pours off the screen in every frame."
- "Forman has taken the honorable route by refusing to treat the material as easy nostalgia, but the confrontational sentiments no longer have the substance to survive his straightforward presentation."
- "The spirit and elan that captivated the Vietnam protest era are long gone, and what Forman tries to make up with splash and verve fails to evoke potent nostalgia."
