A perceptive examination (and criticism) of celebrity worship and American politics, at times a very amusing black comedy, and a sad portrait of lonely and heartbroken people. Altman's ambition is insatiable, and in Nashville he manages to hit all of his targets with stunning ease and skill. There's no real plot to be had here, but Altman touches on such a wide cross-section of feelings and characters that it's overwhelming. One of the great American movies from the 1970s - or ever.

It's a different movie on every viewing; sometimes it's a heavy-handed political commentary, sometimes it's a devilishly mean comedy that seems to predict Christopher Guest's entire oeuvre, sometimes it's just a sprawling soap opera. What it is every time, though, is a pitch-perfect snapshot of America at a cultural crossroads.

More than just showing how horrible people r, this is far more concerned w/ the subtle, yet massive disconnect btwn said horribleness & the family/religious values they hold dear & espouse in song. The collage-style jumping betwn various characters doesn't permit any in-depth characterization, but it does create a macro, worldview of the problem (i.e. EVERYONE'S obvlivious 2 who they really r). If only Altman'd cut out the many unnecessary scenes & characters he'd have a near-perfect film here.

There are like a million intertwined stories here and Altman manages to make every single one interesting and nearly all the characters compelling. What makes it great is mostly just seeing how everything comes together so incredibly well.

Many reasons I loved this perhaps escape explanation; some moments were so perfectly dry that I could never hope to verbalize why they work. Every character is either fascinating, hilarious, or both, and their synthesis into a living, wild satirical tapestry is marvelous. On top of that, there's a bunch of great music.

As a sly, perceptive essay on American culture and as a piece of pure ambition, "Nashville" is an undeniable achievement -as a piece of resonant storytelling, it falls flat more often than not. Not unlike other Altman ensemble pieces, it gets the details and thematic delicacies right, but it doesn't bother to find a very compelling narrative thread, sticking with its embryonic fragments instead. As much as parodying country music is fun, it didn't need to totally replace character development.

Arguably the most sprawling and ambitious film of New Hollywood, featuring interweaving narratives with a large ensemble cast, multi-channel dialogue which overlaps with alarming regularity; and a fluid camera that moves through crowds with stunning choreographic complexity; Nashville is nothing if not demanding. It's American film making as the great refusal: Altman was the consummate contrarian. But it's also a beguiling, often brilliant black-comic chronicle of American life.

Vast, weary, anonymous intricacy. A nation of authentic fakes, phony believers, pawns, and the quiet ones. An electronic nation of sickness. Hollywood hicks. Stereophonic, quadraphonic White individuality propped up with Black community. Kill your heroes and watch the world burn. More relevant now than in 1975... To quote Smash Mouth, "...what the hell happened?"

Incisive and irreverent slice-of-life satire of Americana, taking place at the absurd intersection between political and pop cultural landscapes, inhabited by an ensemble of sad and lonely midwestern souls, where the vanity of celebrity worship and politics are indistinguishable. Of course, it's so pitiful you can't help but laugh. An essential piece of American cinema, just as relevant today as it ever has been.

An important movie in terms of film history. And, as is sometimes the case, that is the best reason to watch it. Another would be that you're a fan of country music (which features prominently). Altman is experimenting with the multiplot film and introducing trademarks such as overlapping dialogue. All very 70s in it's looseness, it doesn't amount to much more than a not very engaging portrait of a moment in time, sometimes feeling too much like an array of sketches, many of which fall flat.

The subject matter can be dark, and it does poke fun at many types of people, but by the end I felt enriched and optimistic, although looking back none of the principal characters had what could be called a happy ending. The experience is slightly dissonant but never paradoxical. Everyone does a perfect job and all the meandering pays off at the end; if you don't feel like singing along, for whatever reason, you must be dead inside.

Don't be put off by the huge cast or 2-plus hours. Repeated viewings magnify just how deftly Altman wove his cast of 24(!!!) into his epic patchwork quilt. The Parthenon finale delivers in spades -- a devastating clash of BIG ideas and characters that doubles as a eulogy for the pastoral, agrarian ideals of a nation that's been decimated by years of war, corruption and madness. Ronnee Blakely delivers a performance that wows me every time, even as it breaks my heart. Affecting and unforgettable.

I used to live in Tennessee, and this does feel familiar. In the bigger cities, they still maintain this weird, half-hearted dichotomy of cold metropolis and "come on in and sit a spell." As seems to be the case for most 70s films these days, the political dimension is pretty relevant. (I should have seen the Parthenon coming.) While its humor is sharp and direct and Goldblumian, the more serious notes are implied. It indirectly builds up an overwhelming atmosphere, a sense of a city in flux.

Criticker tells me I watched almost exactly five years ago, and all I remembered was the ending. This is not an indictment on this film, oddly. It's conversational, and there's so much going on, that it feels like oversaturation. Other than the violent ending, things just sort of happen without it feeling like Altman whispering in your ear "this is important!"

This may be the most prescient thing ever made. I've been planning to watch this film for fifteen years, and if I had done so back then, sure, I may have liked it on a surface level. I wouldn't have caught everything in the film, though. And I wouldn't have the knowledge of America 2018 to compare it to. Because that's Nashville's main character: America -- and by god, every facet of it is captured in brilliant efficiency. In today's light, the film is a scarily accurate fortune teller.

Three hours of chatter. I understand what the film was trying to do and some dry humorous lines sprinkled here and there, but overall it didn't work for me. None of the actors really are given enough screen time to develop. Even looking past the performances and the film itself, the songs are all cut short so country music fans won't even take away much. I don't think the film has aged well, much let Network (1976). Bit disappointing that the AFI actually added this to the 100 Films series

The kind of movie that makes me feel stupid because everyone seems to both enjoy and recognize greatness in it while I sit here scratching my neanderthal brain. Plot seems scattershot and while the acting is good I wasn't really captivated by anyone. Maybe that's the point and I just don't enjoy movies like that very much, but did it really need to be 2 hours and 40 minutes? Maybe cut down on one of the seemingly endless country songs. Not for me.

I liked Nashville. I love mosaic movies. I love movies with a lot of different characters and separate stories. My only problem with this is unlike other mosaic movies like Magnolia and Short Cut's, I did not connect to any of the characters whereas in the other two, I connected to a lot of them, and I think that is one of the most important elements in films like this one. I was a little disappointed, but it was worth the watch.

I don't like Altman's ensemble films, and I don't like country music. The fact that I'm rating this as high as I am is mostly a testament to the believability of the characters and the excellent acting from all involved. Inevitably, the movie suffers from Multiple Plot Syndrome, where none of the storylines are developed to satisfaction. But at least the majority of the threads are interesting enough to make you want more, and the slices of life on parade here have a ring of truth to them.

a deeply cynical look at the country scene, and of america more generally. altman effortlessly moves from person to person, making no comment except that which comes from the act of observation. and through our observation we come to see and to feel a sprawling depth of character, a widely cast net of themes. it is so understated and realistic that it really only becomes proper satire in the final scene. too much to take in with a single viewing.

Altman's multi-plotline epic is probably his crowning achievement, which is impressive given his production of a multitude of classic films. What begins as a jumble of narratives slowly morphs into a cutting satire about American ambition unlike any I've seen before. For as many scenes that seem procedural and dry, there are those that are absolutely heartbreaking and beautifully acted.

Altman didn't let me down in weaving together multiple facets of the turbulent '70s summer. How did America handle the mirror of race, politics, assassinations, popular culture, war, idealism, and lost innocence as the second century approached? We have the benefit of hindsight to know how it turned out. Wish I saw more focus on the black characters but I'm fine with what we got in a country music movie. Worst reporter. Duvall looked like an alien. Fav scene: Barbara Jean rambling b/w songs.

Moments of greatness shine through in Altman's magnum opus to country music and 1970s America, but film itself rambles without enough focus to create genuine resonances. Performances are top-notch all round, with Gibson, Tomlin and Blakely notable standouts, and scenes by themselves create memorable gut-punches ("I'm Easy", the climax), but Altman occasionally has trouble keeping all the balls in the air at once. Defintely a film of its time, and a successful evocation of Watergate-era America.

Must've been very exciting to have seen this when it came out, since it's so telling of the time and setting. This is an entertaining and funny satire on America that's neither too cynical nor too glorifying. It moves along quickly and is hardly ever boring, except for some of the overlong country song sections, most of which I found to be mediocre -- they do suit the scenes they are in, but they could've been edited down quite a bit.

After seeing all of Altman's movies, coming back to this one was a huge surprise. No wonder everybody else is constantly raving about it: it's pretty much a perfect satire in the sense that it seems to admire and skewer in equal length, plus it has scenes like the one with Elliott Gould and it has Jeff Goldblum wandering around in funny clothing so you really can't lose. Kinda the quintessential Altman film and really an indisputable masterpiece. (two times)

I really respect what it's going for (and in its wonderful last half hour I think it achieves that admirably too, especially in its closing moments), but I can't say I'm the biggest fan of having to sit through all that country music in order to get there... I do find something frustrating about how underdeveloped some of the characters are, but also understand that the real character here is not a person but instead Nashville (and America) which is developed about as much as I could hope for.

A good dramedy ensemble film launched into the stratosphere by maybe the best ending of any movie ever made. This is the kind of film that could only have been made in 1975, likely the most cynical year in American history, and it's no coincidence that the presidential election is so prominent. Everyone lives in a world of relaxation and malaise, and why bother to change when it's just so easy to be easy. "Somebody sing. Somebody sing!" An easy Best Picture in any other year.

I usually hate this scene and white southern Americana quite generally (at least in this traditionally dull-witted, folksy and chauvanistic context), so to endure a film like this is one thing, to enjoy it? Wow. It is a big hitter, and the buildup, while long, is very watchable. I suppose I see it as an eerie vacancy from this side. It's like a magician pulled something on me by the end, and I'm not sure how they did it...

I felt that this film was just average. In fact I felt it was inferior to Altman's own Short Cuts and Gosford Park. As much as I love big ensemble casts, I think there may have been too many characters here. Some of the characters are great, while others seem to have little point. Interesting, but didn't do much for me.

I can see that this is a great achievement of a film, and very well done overall, but it just didn't capture me at all. It felt like we were just there to experience these characters for awhile, which I'm fine with, but there's only so much full-length country music I can take. I felt every one of the 160 minutes. I wasn't ever bored but I did not get lost in this at all, except for the scene with Tom singing to Lily Tomlin, which was fantastic

Traff meg ikke helt så mye som forventet, men hadde absolutt kvalitetene jeg forbinder med Altman. Et fletteverk av en historie der vi følger en rekke personer i opptakten til en politisk appell. Mye god musikk - skrevet og fremført av skuespillerne - og dialog i særklasse gjør denne til en god, men ikke den beste, Altman-film.

It's very hard to commit to. Altman's ensemble style relies on abscense of close-ups, and that might be why. The acting that seems superb just doesn't get what it deserves that way. The way country music fills large parts of the movie's (long) 150-odd minutes seems somehow as a tribute. Although Altman IS having a laugh, and it's not just the music, it's the american holyness with its political absurdity and thoroughly sad and lonely people.

How can this be so good?

Stream of consciousness. En stor mängd historier berättas parallellt och det är därför omöjligt att kort sammanfatta handlingen.

Asks you to come along for an easy-going ensemble ride that blurs the line between naturalism and social farce.

As I watched this, I had the sense that it didn't know where it was going. So I looked into it and found that indeed, Altman was editing the script on the days of shooting--the entire thing was quite literally thrown together at the last second. And that is why this film has no cohesiveness whatsoever. True, that makes it a notable oddity, but that does not mean it's a good film. Those of you watching it because you are fans of MASH will probably be as disappointed as I was.

This film manages to weave a nice tapestry of its various interconnected plotlines and immerses you in its time and place, but could probably have used a little more forward momentum. A lot of memorable moments and characters, but also a lot of country music...

You don't have to like country music to understand and be absorbed by this film. Admittedly, it takes about an hour to really ease your way into the pool, but you pick up on all the characters, and you start to care about them all. If anything this movie could be another hour and I'd probably still want more. Once it hits the Grand Ole Opry I think the film's ideas and characters finally settle themselves in and from there on it's brilliance.

(Rewatch) Well it certainly isn't terrible exactly, but i can still see why i hated it the first time. If you took away all the interminable music sequences there's barely enough here for a feature-length film. The much bigger problem though is that the social satire is so specific to a particular time and place that it really hasn't aged all that well. What holds up is that the music industry is still exploitative and that sensitive singer-songwriters are still insufferable sleazebags.

Robert Altman's Magnum Opus.. a lengthy movie that sums up the man's directorial hallmarks, although he's done better. The musical numbers are very dull (except for that girl who can't sing), and frankly, the whole thing is generally tiresome. There are a lot of interesting little fragments of drama and there comes across a sense of the superficiality of the society shown, but that's that. Altman strains to retain naturalism but occasionally he makes a point out of ridiculing people.

The wisdom is in the detail. The power is in the entertainment. The art is in the craft. And other than M.A.S.H. is Altmans Nashville totally timeless in doing so.

Altman is one of the few directors that have developed their own personal recognizable cinematic language. He also falls into an even narrower category of directors whose cinematic language I actually admire.

This is a movie that might get rated up significantly on a re-watch some day. It was kind of all over the place for me--not bad, but not great, overly meandering--and then with around 10 minutes left it really started clicking and coming together but not enough to make up all the lost ground. There's a great ensemble cast--Ronee Blakley especially stood out to me as the no talent aspiring artist, but everyone is good. Very much an Altman with very realistic dialogue and crosstalk, etc.

I don't particularly care for country music (of which there are many, occasionally interminable sets), but the acting was very well done and the drama was usually pretty interesting.

I feel that Altman fails at whatever political statement he was trying to make (if any?) and even though I can tolerate country music it got tedious at times. Still, even with these flaws I found myself drawn in, a feeling that I only felt before with his The Long Goodbye. Definitely worth watching.

Not my tempo. The best quality of Nashville is the realism and natural performances. This ADD riddled production occasionally lands on something interesting, but then it's lost a few seconds later as the focus shifts to other characters and their subplots. It's a frustrating experience, complete with country music that I feel nothing for. If someone like PT Anderson didn't come around with his own Altman inspired, more captivating ensemble movies, maybe I would see Nashville in a better light.
