3.5/4  "An excellent chance to learn more about one of rock and roll's most significant bands and the struggle for freedom in the communist world."
-- Joshua Tanzer, OFFOFFOFF

  "For all the lip service paid to rock-and-roll revolutionaries, few groups can match the sheer courage of The Plastic People of the Universe."

FRESH 100%
  "Enough of the essence of the tale comes across to make for reasonably compelling viewing."
-- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

  "The music in the film ... is secondary and insufficient, though I was moved by how much it meant in a nation's struggle for freedom."
-- Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER

2.5/4  "The band's courage in the face of official repression is inspiring, especially for aging hippies (this one included)."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST

3.5/5  "Here is a VH1 Behind the Music special that has something a little more special behind it: music that didn't sell many records but helped change a nation."
-- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES

  "Twists are so bizarre, and the story so worth documenting, that it's easy to forget this film's shortcomings."
-- Carola Dibbell, VILLAGE VOICE

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