I think this movie is amazing. It beings The Beatles music to life, and it tells an amazing story at the same time. The artistic nature of the film... lone is mind blowing. I believe this is a must see movie and I think you need to really watch the movie to understand it. Full Review

this was one of the worst movies i have ever seen,it was basically they would be talking about something, then they would start singing a beatles... g about something that was not even related to what they were just talking about, and then all the walls would melt away, and then they would start talking about something completely from either the song that was just sung or what they were saying before said song was sung. It just seemed like they were jumping the plot around randomly to jam in as many god damn beatles songs as they could. Full Review

Here is a bold, beautiful, visually enchanting musical where we walk INTO the theater humming the songs.Full Review

Somewhere around its midpoint, Across the Universe captured my heart, and I realized that falling in love with a movie is like falling in love with another person. Imperfections, however glaring, become endearing quirks once you've tumbled.Full Review

While the songs are recycled, Across the Universe stands out just by existing.Full Review

Peter Hartlaub
San Francisco Chronicle

All you need is love -- for the Beatles, for psychedelic visuals, for ideas about being young in the '60s -- to fully enjoy Across the Universe.Full Review

Variety

It's all very clever and thought-through, but all the allusions don't much bolster the bland central romance or the paper-thin treatment of '60s social issues.Full Review
