The Boy with Green Hair Reviews
Fort Worth Business Press
Michael H. Price
A peculiar mixing of bigot-buster and pacifist sensibilities, rendered largely incoherent on account of Howard Hughes' attempts to transform the piece into a pro-war tract. Strange that such a safe-as-milk picture could have caused many of its talents to
NewsBlaze
Kam Williams
A precursor to all those radiation fallout monster flicks of the Fifties. A telling cautionary tale worth a watch for far more than the nostalgic factor.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...a rather simplistic antiwar fantasy that pounds its message into the ground for the last twenty minutes or more.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Strikes a false note.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Few films so daringly span the local and the universal-or look so ravishing while doing so. Its eerie palette meshes perfectly with Losey's vision of a world out of joint.
Modern Screen
Christopher Kane
It's a nice picture. It hits at bigotry, it pleads for war's forgotten victims, and certainly, Dean Stockwell's a most appealing young actor.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Bracingly peculiar
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's certainly the most bizarre anti-war film ever made.
