Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.
Leave your thoughts about Across the Universe.
| Pittsburgh Post-GazetteBarbara VancheriIf you're going to reinvent songs, you cannot go wrong with the Beatles, even if John, Paul, George and Ringo have been replaced by Evan, Jim, Bono, Joe Cocker and others in a revolutionary way. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesThis lavish labor of love constantly walks a slender thread between masterpiece and folly, but when all is said and done, it confirms, for me, Taymor's status as a master. |
| SpoutBlogKarina LongworthA shorter cut, stripped of some of the forced multiculturalism and contemporary political references, would play like gangbusters in middle schools. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeJulie Taymor's Across the Universe is an imperfect film, but it's still five-full-stars' worth of imperfect film. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerJulie Taymor's love-it-or-hate-it musical is hugely ambitious but it works brilliantly, thanks to strong performances, a fantastic script, terrifically integrated songs and Taymor's inspired direction. |
| FilmStew.comLisa JohnsonA wildly creative magical mystery tour of a film that's dying to take you away, dying to take you away, take you away. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversTo call it trippy would be an understatement. Your head might explode. Just don't accuse Taymor of playing it safe. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Cosmo LandesmanThose beautiful Beatles songs have been given a bland Broadway makeover that robs them of their power. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHere is a bold, beautiful, visually enchanting musical where we walk INTO the theater humming the songs. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonDesigned to encourage appreciation of the director's visual flair and the sheer joy of the music. And such visual flair it is; and such joyful music. |
