Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Strangely dispassionate and uncommitted for a movie about passionate commitment.
A movie for people who are so sensitive they barely notice the feelings of others or what's going on in the world.
A woefully tame and pallid affair.
Part beautifully shot European travelogue and part moving exploration of the darker side of the hippie era's rabid idealism.
