Shampoo Ratings & Reviews
Randy Lowe
February 4, 2025
surprisingly plodding and dull
New York Times
Walter Goodman
In "Shampoo" Ashby shows that he has a good memory for a couple of decades of cinematic clichés.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Shampoo is light and impudent, yet, like the comedies that live on, it's a bigger picture in retrospect.
Entertainment Weekly
Troy Patterson
A sex farce elevated to romantic tragedy, Shampoo... made political concerns indistinguishable from personal ones - made them immediate and moving.
New York Daily News
Rex Reed
It dazzles at first glance, but in the harsher glare of close scrutiny, it looks synthetic, and fades before sundown.
Newsday
Joseph Gelmis
"Shampoo" is a personal movie of a superior caliber, one that marks a further development in the maturation of Warren Beatty.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Will Jones
Beatty, Warden, Christie, Grant, Hawn and friends all perform impeccably under these auspices.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
I found myself wishing for an earthquake to wipe out these human disasters.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Judith Crist
Filmed on locaton in Beverly Hills, the movie sees us clear, the way we were, everywhere.
Orlando Sentinel
Randy Harrison
"Shampoo" is a cinematic platypus: It seems to be several different things rolled into a confusing hybrid form.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
The cast of "Shampoo," particularly Warden, is uniformly excellent and Beatty brings a carefully drawn skill to the mindless confusion of George.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
The acting is generally good. Beatty plays the role to the hilt, and Misses Christie, Hawn and Grant are first-class.
Los Angeles Times
Charles Champlin
It is an unsparing picture, but not unsympathetic.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Elston Brooks
Beatty and Warden turn in excellent performances.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Perry Stewart
Beatty's conception of the hairdresser as representative of the morality of the 1960s is surprisingly valid, and his execution of the character is good.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stark
Significant if not profound, consistently accurate in its comic aim, and written with as much flair as it is performed, "Shampoo" shows itself to be the most polished, purposeful, distinctively American screen satire since "The Graduate."
Boston Globe
Kevin Kelly
Ashby's direction is sharp, fast, bulls-eye; Lazlo Kovacs' camerawork is superb; the performances are wonderful, particularly Beatty's dumb George.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Farnum Gray
The acting is good. Beatty plays George with enough complexity that it takes you most of the movie to get a fix on him.
AV Club
Lawrence Garcia
Balancing screwball antics with convincingly shaded emotional clashes, the film is so involving on a dramatic level that it arguably doesn't even require the political backdrop.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
I was struck by how much we knew of the characters, by the variety of associations we have with them, even though the screenplay, like most good screenplays, never indulges in the kind of character expedition that we take for granted in written fiction.
