A visually sumptuous experience, it also typifies the very worst excesses of hippie-era filmmaking.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Antonioni has sought to bring into the focus of his own insights, the student vs establishment conflict. He is on foreign terrain.
Antonioni's sorrowing, stranger's-eye view of modern America is sadly flawed by the way his 'story' s bogged down in the mood of student revolt dogging the nation in the late '60s.
Because of the fundamental emptiness of his American vision, all sorts of flaws that one might overlook in better Antonioni films become apparent.
Antonioni has no feeling for young people...He has tried to make a serious movie and hasn't even achieved a beach-party level of insight.
