Flawed, but frequently brilliant.

Can't capture the brilliance of the source material ... but does a pretty good job all the same.

Released during the Vietnam War, the movie was a commercial failure, but seen from today's perspective, its black humor holds up well.

A mess, occasionally a fascinating one.

Starts out pretty funny, gets incredibly weird by the end.

What a strange and mesmerizing folly.

Nichols has done the same thing in "Catch-22" that he did in "The Graduate." He's given us a funny beginning, then switched tones and gone serious.

The film is cynical and bitterly cold. Nichols has hit one out of three virtues.

Quite simply, the best American film I've seen this year.
