Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: What Linklater has captured is a generation of bristling minds unable to turn their thoughts into action.
Fresh: This is a work of scatterbrained originality, funny, unexpected and ceaselessly engaging.
Fresh: The experience is funny, surreal and weird. Sometimes it's even scary.
Customer Reviews
My favorite movies of all time
If you're from Gen-X this movie hits home. I've noticed the younger generation don't really get it. For me this is on the greatest movies of all time. It's narrative structure hadn't been done before and hasn't really been done since. The details in the dialogue is pricesless. Also it captures Austin, Texas at it's heyday. Most of the locations in the movie no longer exist.
Must See
If you like independent movies, then this is a must see movie!
must-see
Production values aren't the best, but if you're a Linklater fan, you have to see this, his first film... It's hard to watch more than once, but there's some cool stories and interesting people to spy on...
