Critic Reviews

, TIME Magazine
[Penn] has transformed a charming shaggy-dog story into a melancholy epitaph for an entire era.
-
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
Penn's genius overtakes the dropout romance, like a final post-bacchanal hangover that suggests liberation as an El Dorado dream.
-
, Variety
There are occasional flashes of wry humor and some rib-tickling sequences. But they are all too few.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Good work in a minor key.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's worth checking out for the marvelous look back at how the counterculture dropouts related to each other and to the straight older generation in the late 1960s.
