Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
A frothy, sexy, '60s delight with a movie lover's heart.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: A.O. Scott
May not make the splash it should; films about moviemaking rarely do. And that would be a shame, because the contrasts the director sets in motion and keeps playing against each other make an entertaining wrestling match.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
CQ is a movie for movie-lovers, by a movie-lover: Roman Coppola, son of Francis Ford and a successful commercial and video director in his own right, making a witty, whimsical feature debut.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
Coppola, who has made clever music videos, including the one for Moby's ''Honey,'' clearly had a lot of fun detailing the mod cheesiness of this intergalactic period piece, though the satire would have been more ticklish if ''Austin Powers'' hadn't gotten there first.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Hank Stuever
A certain sexiness underlines even the dullest tangents, bouncing along to the all-too-essential groovy soundtrack.Read Full Review »

Triumphs over its own trendiness only by being vapid and superficial.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Desson Thomson
A charming, spirited movie for cinephiles, or those who aspire to be. It's the kind of movie every kid in film school wanted to make but didn't have the father to produce.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Dennis Lim
Endearing but pointless, at once cluttered and tinny, this film-dork fantasia suggests a shopping spree at a high-end vintage emporium underwritten by Daddy's blank check.Read Full Review »
