It's illuminating and nostalgic and for anyone who lined up for American movies in that bygone golden age.

Kevin Thomas · Los Angeles Times 80.00/100.00

It is often remarked that the years between "Easy Rider" (1969) and "Star Wars" (1977) marked a second golden age in American filmmaking, and this documentary, as comprehensive as it is incisive, is a reminder of just how many terrific pictures came out during those years.

V.A. Musetto · New York Post 75.00/100.00

The decade under discussion in this enjoyable documentary is the 1970s, a period that changed Hollywood forever.
