The Guardian
The film is a deliberate parody of mass communication so it parodies the techniques. - 50
Chicago Reader
Almost an hour of self-indulgent psychedelics, it's nearly impossible to watch. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
A must-see for Beatles buffs and anyone interested in how the '60s looked as they were happening (rather than in slick, retrospective recreations); others might want to take a pass. - 40
Empire
Never magical, this hotchpotch of colourful, unrelated snippets is certainly a mystery.
