3/4  "Although it's a bit smug and repetitive, this documentary engages your brain in a way few current films do."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS

3.5/4  "While it regards 1967 as the key turning point of the 20th century, and returns again and again to images of dissidents in the streets, it's alarmingly current."
-- John Hartl, SEATTLE TIMES

3/4  "Marker's incredible collection of newsreel footage -- TV footage from various countries, home movies and other celluloid wonders -- eventually shapes a scattered, pinwheel idea of the era's attitude."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

3/4  "A remarkable 179-minute meditation on the nature of revolution."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST

4/4  "This is a movie about the world at war with itself, and the result is riveting, sublime and unforgettable."
-- Patrick Z. McGavin, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

4/5  "A work of extraordinary journalism, but it is also a work of deft and subtle poetry."
-- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES

  "More impressionistic than analytical, A Grin Without a Cat is a grand immersion."
-- J. Hoberman, VILLAGE VOICE

3/4  "A timely look back at civil disobedience, anti-war movements and the power of strong voices."
-- Jonathan Curiel, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

4/4  "Fierce, glaring and unforgettable."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY

If I could be anywhere: "Back in Cuba, sitting Indian style on the Malecon. Mojito in one hand, handsome revolutionary in the other."
