Back in its day, it may have been seen as challenging, thought-provoking and clever. However, taken out of its 60's context we see a great film trying to get out: an unfinished pretentious yawn with some genuine moments of brilliance.

Interesting take on subjective analysis ...doesn't carry much weight though.

Had really high expectations, for some reason.

hard to watch, even harder to rate

Beautiful in every possible way, definitely it deserves all the acclaim it gets. A rumination on the concept of context, it is full of images way better than its main character takes. It is special in the way of how it keeps the focus on the main character all the time while inroducing new elements; it seemed like life washed off him with each step he took. It was a stroke of genius when all the seemingly redundant scenes were turned into a statement towards the end.

A movie about perception. Very cerebral. A treat for the eyes and ears. Wreaks of the '60s emptiness. Examines the dehumanization that some photographers execute when trying to get a good shot. Hell YES: This is my kinda movie.

Ok, I don't know what happened, but this film about a photographer who thinks he photographed a murder scene, was sloooooow. There were certainly some good moments, but there were also a lot of scenes that seemed completely out of place, and I really had to fight to keep my eyes open...

Mesmerizing voyage into a strange, surreal, alien film-scape.

Beautifully photographed, with Hemmings very good as a total asshole. I loved the style of it - a presumably accurate depiction of Swinging London, which I still say is meant to somewhat mock the culture. It's interesting how when the murder plot shows up we expect it to go somewhere even though it's been like an hour and nothing else has so far, but of course the point is what it stirs up in Thomas rather than solving a mystery. A lot of fun.
