Daytime Revolution Ratings & Reviews
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Erik Nelson takes us back over fifty years, beginning with a montage of newsreel footage...to remind us that a divided America was once being led by a corrupt president, while outspoken political idealists offered a different perspective.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
This was really fascinating... It really humanized John and Yoko.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
It's a lovely portrait of an artist gone far too young.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Christopher Rhine
Daytime Revolution promises to show us a radical week when Lennon and Yoko take over a talk show. But Gil Scott-Heron was right: the revolution will not be televised.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
Contemporary interviews offer perspective as Daytime Revolution cements its status as a cultural curio. And, yes, it's moving to watch John, who was 31 at the time, sing Imagination.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
As fascinating and enjoyable as the talk show footage is to watch today as what was deemed as radical politics back then, the film fails to then provide that modern context which leaves the film as visitation rather than an examination.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
The movie's quiet star is Douglas himself... Douglas's kindness and intellectual curiosity are more compelling than any political argument.
Auteurist Class (Substack)
Peter Sobczynski
Daytime Revolution does work as a straightforward, if not particularly deep, examination of a moment in time when the idea of opposite sides of the political spectrum could actually come together even if only for a few hours (minus time for commercials).
Spectrum Culture
Devon Webb
Yoko Ono is the star of the show in this documentary revisiting the Lennons' radical takeover of daytime television.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
It is touching now to witness the faith with which so many in 1972 assumed war, poverty, sexism, consumerism and so forth must inevitably crumble before humanity's newly evolved higher consciousness...
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
This recap of a unique and deeply sincere bid to demystify utopian ideals for the conservative masses using the platform of popular television offers a fascinating glimpse into a very different period in this country's past.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
What IS remarkable, and kind of awesome, is that these confabs were beamed directly into the living rooms of some 40 million Americans via a rather unlikely platform...
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Mildly engaging and amusing, but underwhelming, somewhat shallow and slight.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
There was a charming ordinariness to it, no big woo that a Beatle had landed, a vibe he orchestrated. enjoyable, a time capsule, a portrait of a beloved artist. The Richard Nixon White House went to war with the couple two weeks after the broadcasts.
