New York Post
Vincent D'Onofrio does capture Hoffman's charisma and nuttiness - and he's the only reason to resist the temptation to skip this exasperating movie. - 30
Variety
A valiant but seriously flawed attempt to belie the notion that if you remember what you did in the '60s, you weren't there. - 20
Dallas Observer
Comes across as artificial. - 10
Chicago Reader
Misshapen and obfuscating biopic.
