John Hartl Seattle Times It's the kind of would-be groundbreaker that continues to stir interest long after its failure as a theatrical release. Rated: 2/4 Feb 9, 2012 Full Review Richard Brody The New Yorker [A] great, nearly lost work of reflexive modernist fury... Oct 2, 2011 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Has a raw power that resonates long after viewing. Rated: B+ Mar 18, 2013 Full Review Boston Phoenix It often comprises multiple film images projected beside or on top of each other, in a free-associative scrapbook goulash.

Audience Member This is a brilliantly told story about people trying so desperately to be real they become surreal. I went to Harpur and was a film student there, but I graduated the year Nick joined the film department staff. Luke, Lesley, and Doug were friends of mine so this was like watching home movies. Masterfully directed and composed, it took monumental courage and vision to pull this together. Nick and his team had no money. None. But they kept going and now we have what might be the only true capture of that transformational era. Thank you, Nick and Susan, Richie, Tom, and everyone else who contributed. Your stormy compassion shines through. Deeply moving, and refreshingly insane. Five stars. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Director Nicholas Ray's final movie was a film school project produced with his students; a hodgepodge of ideas thrown at the viewer via split-screen. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Warhol did split screen a coupla years before , but it's still a pretty freaky , cool 70s trippy movie . I dug it , maaaaan !! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Read and comment on my review at http://bit.ly/sukJrv Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched Nicholas Ray's 1976 psychedelic masterpiece "We can't go home again." Zilpha went to bed, but I made it through the whole thing. Unfortunately, we had not recorded the documentary about creation of the film by the great director's widow Susan Ray "Don't Expect Too Much" (2011). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075414/ Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member a strange experimental film Ray was working n when he died.
