American Graffiti Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
The primary interest of American Graffiti is its setting and the nostalgia that it conjures.
The Blu Spot
Jeff Beck
American Graffiti is a classic coming-of-age flick that holds up rather well after 50 years. It may not be too heavy on plot, but it more than makes up for it with its charming characters, brought to life by a tremendous cast, and its rockin' soundtrack.
Chicago Daily News
David Elliott
I'm not sure I would have enjoyed their way of life, but it's a great one to remember, even if you didn't live it yourself, and it makes American Graffiti the ultimate nostalgia movie -- certainly the best teen-myth movie since Rebel Without a Cause.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
The movie has no resonance except from the jukebox sound and the eerie, nocturnal jukebox look.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A surprise blockbuster hit with an enormous and lasting cultural footprint.
Stream on Demand
Sean Axmaker
Nothing much really happens as they hit the sock-hop, cruise the strip, grab a bite at the drive-in, and square off in a drag race on the outskirts of town. It's more of a mosaic, jumping from character to character over the long, last night...
Crooked Marquee
Sean Burns
A wistful picture about the twilight of American innocence, set on the precipice of the Kennedy assassination and Vietnam. It's the last night of summer, in more ways than one.
Epoch Times
Mark Jackson
I admit it, seen it at least fifty times since 1973. Similar to Gone With the Wind American Graffiti packs a potent nostalgia which is why it always leaves you with a bittersweet ache.
The New Beverly
Quentin Tarantino
Like a lot of great nostalgia pieces (Meet Me in St. Louis, Summer of '42, Cooley High, New York New York, Dazed and Confused) it seems to get better the further it gets from its original release date.

Richard Propes
I was, and remain, very tempted to add this film to my Top 100.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
A fun-filled cultural snapshot imbued with classic rock and reminiscence.
Esquire Magazine
John Simon
George Lucas has directed with a remarkably firm but unostentatious hand, two virtues equally rare in a young film maker.
The Hollywood Reporter
Alan R. Howard
The movie is a comic poem which celebrates the past but also catalogues its textures with telling precision. American Graffiti looks like no other movie, an achievement which is always the best measure of a truly gifted director.
TIME Magazine
Jay Cocks
This superb and singular film catches not only the charm and tribal energy of the teen-age 1950s but also the listlessness and the resignation that underscored it all like an incessant bass line in one of the rock-'n'-roll songs of the period.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Brilliant and highly influential.
Variety
A.D. Murphy
There is brilliant interplaying and underplaying, of script, performers and direction which will raise howls of laughter from audiences, yet never descends on the screen to overdone mugging, pratfall and other heavy-handed devices normally employed.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A brilliant work of popular art, it redefined nostalgia as a marketable commodity and established a new narrative style, with locale replacing plot, that has since been imitated to the point of ineffectiveness.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
American Graffiti acts almost as a milestone to show us how far (and in many cases how tragically) we have come.
New York Times
Roger Greenspun
It is a very good movie, funny, tough, unsentimental.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Teen tales don't get much better than this.
