Tommy Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Phil Strassberg
Not all the "arias" work, though all are given spectacular, kaleidoscopic production values under Russell's shrewd and resourceful direction.
Los Angeles Times
Charles Champlin
"Tommy" is an overwhelming, thunderous, almost continuously astonishing achievement, coherent and consistent from first frames to last.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Hilburn
The critical issue surrounding "Tommy" is whether Russell has produced a failed monument or a monumental failure.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Judith Crist
'Experience' is the word for this two-hour film, a medley of literal bits and surreal pieces... all eye-catching, most mind-engaging, some simply stunning, and a few merely bemusing.
Village Voice
Andrew Sarris
Tommy is a profoundly unifying rock experience without malice or smugness.
Newsweek
Charles Michener
Russell has fused a Kaleidoscope of images that pulsate with the incredible precision of a rock drumbeat in visual counterpoint to the music.
Chicago Tribune
Richard Basch
Frankly, it's one of the best, most entertaining, most provoking films I've ever seen.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
Russell, who also wrote the screenplay, has worked to explore a sense of visual imagery that is far more creative than the music.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
"Tommy" is a concoction of feeble-minded symbolism and driving music created by the English rock group The Who. Russell's deranged film left me wondering Why.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
For all Russell's genius, "Tommy" stays in the mind as a bad trip, nothing more.
New York Daily News
Rex Reed
Tommy is a dazzling spectacle that demands and holds the interest.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Will Jones
Its too-muchness quickly dulls the senses and turns it into a most dull trip.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stark
The imagery is so wildly fantastic, so overblown, so out of control, that is has a numbing effect.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
The story is served up chunk-style like the record, so it's a case of more individual scenes failing than working. The film has no cinematic flow.
Boston Globe
Ernie Santosuosso
Unlike so many other rock films, "Tommy" does not bore. Indeed, it fairly roars.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Farnum Gray
The music, which sometimes soars powerfully, is performed very well.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's Ken Russell unbound.
AV Club
Noel Murray
For all that Tommy bungles or overdoes, it's still a powerful experience, musically and visually.
TIME Magazine
Jay Cocks
One thing is sure: there has never been a movie musical quite like Tommy, a weird, crazy, wonderfully excessive version of The Who's rock opera.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
This 1975 film's inventiveness begins to flag about halfway through, but by then it's a relief. If only Wagner could have lived to see this.
