It may not be art, but it's vastly more entertaining than anything Coppola senior has done in far too long.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 25, 2002

A film that is visually compelling and highly entertaining in an in-jokey sort of way.

Coppola's observational and satirical skills are impressive.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 12, 2002

It's not much of anything, apart from eye candy.

A stylistic romp that's always fun to watch.

Full Review | Jun 6, 2002

The film deserves some kind of honor for its campy originality, smart and funny dialogue, and provocative yet sensitive look at the making of a film circa 1969.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 31, 2002

A certain sexiness underlines even the dullest tangents.

Roman Coppola intended "CQ" as a nostalgic homage to some of the kitschiest junk of the 1960s ... The era's true cinematic landmarks are ignored so the director can indulge his fixation with the barrel's bottom.

while [Roman Coppola] scores points for style, he staggers in terms of story.

In other words, ''CQ'' triumphs over its own trendiness only by being vapid and superficial.

A witty, whimsical feature debut.

The way Coppola professes his love for movies -- both colorful pop junk and the classics that unequivocally qualify as art -- is giddily entertaining.

| May 29, 2002

Not everything in this ambitious comic escapade works, but Coppola, along with his sister, Sofia, is a real filmmaker. It must be in the genes.

Full Review | May 26, 2002

Coppola has made a film of intoxicating atmosphere and little else.
