Audience M One of the best music films ever made! The Who is my favorite rock band and has been since I was 14 years old. classic rock fans need to see this film, it's one of the 70s greats! 5 stars! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Tara J Brilliant and underrated. While some people will not understand the symbolism or the technique embodied in this movie, it has stood the test of time. I wish more movies like this was made and people really appreciated the depths of a rock symphony! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Stefano L Despite its excruciatingly exhausting length and excruciatingly dated music (as well as excruciatingly dubious on screen singing talents), Tommy is a Humanistic epic masterpiece transcending fictional biography and entering the primal realm of myth, symbol, dream, and ancient archetype. Incredibly inventive and exacting in its details, Tommy is a sprawling Baroque work of art that never loses its heart or head amid its own twisting maze - and circles itself with robustly satisfying symmetry. Ken Russell managed to invent music videos before music videos. Where other classic musicals present one or two iconic camera shots, Russell serves up literally dozens, with surprise after surprise set up. This fundamentally spiritual tale, like it or not, will easily stand the test of the ages. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review CodyZamboni Z I love The Who, but this silly , overlong, tiresome, repetitive annoying borefest was a major miscalculation, Ken Russell provides some clever visuals, But lots of guest stars are wasted, The few bright spots are Elton John as the Pinball Wizard, and Ann-Margret, who puts it out there, in a committed performance. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review nick s The acting was very stagey so I wasn't drawn into the magic for a moment. Also the camera work was rather lifeless for the trippy musical they were trying to present. But it was a huge effort for a rock group. Remarkable set pieces. Kudos for trying something so ambitious. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Catherine L Pure 70s extravaganza, eccentric, crazy with a great cast and a rollercoaster of a scenario. It's an experience, let yourself roll with it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
