[edit] Across the Universe Reviews (Good)

• RogerEbert.com: Across the Universe Review (4/4)
  • "...an audacious marriage of cutting-edge visual techniques, heart-warming performances, 1960s history and the Beatles songbook."

• The Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Across the Universe Review  
  • "...for die-hard fans of the Fab Four -- and anyone who was touched by the magic of the '60s -- the film is a strange, nostalgic, suitably outrageous ode to a very real revolution in consciousness."

• The Globe and Mail: Across the Universe Review (3.5/4)
  • "Taymor paints the screen with such panache, such joyful verve, that even when it's bad it's still awfully good."

• Empire: Across the Universe Review (4/5)
  • "A testament to both the enduring emotional power of the Fab Four’s music, vividly reworked by Elliot Goldenthal, T-Bone Burnett and Teese Gohl, and Taymor’s unbridled artistic brio in taking such a dizzyingly daft idea and enriching it with such soul it’ll reconfirm your faith that film can provide comfort and solace."

• The A.V. Club: Across the Universe Review
  • "Ultimately, Universe's saving grace is its reckless energy and Taymor's typically gorgeous imagery, whether she's filming a straight-up dance sequence to "With A Little Help From My Friends" or a trippy surrealist nightmare in which the Army processes Anderson to "I Want You.""

[edit] Across the Universe Reviews (Bad)

• Entertainment Weekly: Across the Universe Review (Grade: C-)  
  • "Watching Across the Universe, it's almost fun to pick out which use of the Beatles makes you gag the most."

• The Hollywood Reporter: Across the Universe Review
  • "Despite all the inventive work, the film never achieves the soaring sense of bliss that would place it in the pantheon of movie musicals.'

• Premiere: Across the Universe Review  
  • "A few folks I've heard have defended this film on account of its having its heart in the right place. I don't really know where its heart is, quite frankly, but I know for sure said heart isn't doing its job of pumping blood to the brain very well."

• Film Threat: Across the Universe Review (2.5/6)
  • "...the plot isn't as interesting as hearing the songs and since more and more plot is tacked on just to hear said songs... it just gets draining, and at that point you also have lost all interest in the characters."

• The Austin Chronicle: Across the Universe Review
  • "Across the Universe will have ardent defenders, but in the long run, it will do nothing to infuse life into the current minirevival of movie musicals and is as soft-headed as the wishful refrain “All You Need Is Love.”"
