“All the directors are competent. Poe was a genius. The program looks promising. But it fails.” –

Five Easy Pieces (1970)

“In Easy Rider Nicholson's brilliant cameo was just too short. It left us whetted and fascinated like a tantalizing apertif. Now in Five Easy Pieces Nicholson is given scope.” –

“When it comes to absurdist, black-humor antiwar films, M.A.S.H. falls way, way behind Catch-22.” –

Loving (1970)
“The film skillfully puts all the dissonant notes in the melody, without making [the protagonist's] life seem unbelievable. In fact it is very believable indeed.” –

Woodstock (1970)

“What makes the movie of Woodstock a delight to watch is that it had a great subject matter to begin with: the largest crowd of human beings ever assembled in one place in the recorded history of man.” –

Topaz (1969)

“When a film proceeds on shaky moral assumptions (good, clean-cut, serious Americans vs. unkempt, cigar-smoking, bearded Cubans), and when it never allows its characters to become persons, even the suspense is gone.” –

Medium Cool (1969)
96%
“[It's] a disturbing repristination of Chicago 1968... It is also an attempt to indict the media for its reportorial coolness and detachment from pain and reality. In its first objective it succeeds brilliantly. I am not sure it does so in its second.” –

Goodbye, Columbus (1969)

“Despite its flaws, some of them major ones, Goodbye, Columbus is a successful flick. The photography [is strong], especially during the expressionistic sequences centered on the young lovers themselves.” –

Midnight Cowboy (1969)

“Some people thought Dustin Hoffman's performance in The Graduate was a fluke, or a bit of lucky typecasting. Not so. In Midnight Cowboy Hoffman clearly emerges as a tragic comedian in the tradition of (can we say it, yes), of Chaplin.” –
