Tommy Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A heaven-sent opportunity for [director Ken Russell] to exercise his gift for going too far, for creating three-ring cinematic circuses with kinky sideshows.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
It's all fairly excessive and far from subtle, but in this case good taste would have been wildly inappropriate and a fearful drag.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
The core essence of Tommy lies in the quivering carriage of Ann-Margret and her heroic personification of Russell's funhouse directorial approach.
Common Sense Media
Charles Cassady
Trippy rock opera with drug references and sexual imagery.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Emphasizing the sensual and musical elements of the rock opera, Ken Russell brings his excessive visual flourishes to the material and also get good performances from Ann-Margret and Oliver Reed, resulting in an original musical movie.
Film Snobbery
Phil Hall
An anything-goes phantasmagoria that pushes at the borders of good taste and good sense.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Quite the gaudy mind-blower.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It becomes tiresome and runs out of gas way before the conclusion.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
This 1975 film's inventiveness begins to flag about halfway through, but by then it's a relief. If only Wagner could have lived to see this.
Variety
Variety Staff
Ken Russell's filmization of Tommy is spectacular in nearly every way.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
It is an extravagant musical curiosity, or Baby Boomer time capsule, if nothing else.
PopMatters
John Demetry
Russell reveals that even such a liberating relation to pop can itself become commodified.
TIME Magazine
One thing is sure: there has never been a movie musical quite like Tommy, a weird, crazy, wonderfully excessive version of The Who's rock opera.
TV Guide
Fans of the Who beware. Ken Russell applies his rococo outpourings to Pete Townshend's rock opera and botches not only the visuals but the fine score.
