Shampoo Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Nora Sayre
Disappointment comes in all weights and flavors, but the brand that's generated by Hal Ashby's Shampoo is a bit harder to swallow than some.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Shampoo, made in 1975 but set in 1968, the night before Richard Nixon's election to the presidency, was directed by Hal Ashby and written by Robert Towne and Warren Beatty, who may have produced one of the best scripts in the last three decades.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Shampoo never quite connects its images of national mediocrity and personal self-deception.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
I didn't care much for the trim this satire on a girl crazy Beverly Hills hairdresser gave me.
Cinema Sight
Wesley Lovell
Once you leave the theater, you become hard-pressed to remember much about this film.
New York Times
Walter Goodman
In "Shampoo" Ashby shows that he has a good memory for a couple of decades of cinematic clichés.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
There's a self-awareness to Shampoo that gives the movie a cleansing sadness and, oddly, makes Beatty an affectingly amoral roue.
Variety
Variety Staff
All the excellent creative components do not add up to a whole.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A lacerating portrait of an emotionally empty hairdresser and the multitudinous female company he keeps.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
This 1975 feature is slick and often funny, but the smugness of the satire and the stunted emotions are finally wearying.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
There's a deep, soulful confusion here that isn't careless with frivolity.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Shampoo is light and impudent, yet, like the comedies that live on, it's a bigger picture in retrospect.
Esquire Magazine
John Simon
Everything about Shampoo is vague, attitudinizing, and lacking in true insight. Not one of its characters is worthy of sympathy.
Bay Area Reporter
Matthew Kennedy
Under Hal Ashby's direction, Shampoo is exceptionally well-acted, and looks like it was a lot of fun to make. Still, it's more a comedy of human observation than laugh-out-loud funny.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
It masterfully creates a snapshot of an era, documenting familiar movements and lifestyles and attitudes (sexual politics over the governmental kind).
The Barb (Atlanta)
Steve Warren
There's nothing not to like in this sex farce-plus.
The Retro Set
Nathanael Hood
...unhurried if not slow, it at times feels downright deflated as characters wander ponderously through mansions and backyards or drive down crowded highways and empty hillside roadways.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A savage satire that sets its sights on hypocrisy, superficiality, and sexual mores.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
I don't know if Warren Beatty has ever been funnier.
TV Guide
Beatty mercilessly lampoons his own offscreen image in a bumptious comedy of manners that turns persuasively sombre at the end.
