"A groovy, richly funny stoner romp that has less in common with “The Big Lebowski” than with the strain of fatalistic, ’70s-era California noirs (“Chinatown,” “The Long Goodbye,” “Night Moves”)..."

Variety
Variety"If not quite on a par with PTA’s best, this is still a richly intoxicating brew of humour, violence and melancholy."
—
Total Film
Total Film"It's a film you sink into, like a haze on the road, even as it jerks you along with spikes of humor."
—
Time Out
Time Out"As antic as Boogie Nights and Punch-Drunk Love, but with The Master and There Will Be Blood’s uncanny feel for the swell and ebb of history."
—
The Telegraph
The Telegraph"Anderson has all manner of fun with the tale's whirling, blurring trajectory."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"It all serves a portrait of 1970 California that mixes absurdity with an air of looming cataclysm..."
—
The Dissolve
The Dissolve"Just relax and let this beautiful, haunting, hilarious, chaotic, irritating and possibly profound tragicomedy wash over you. There is nothing else out there like it."
