Actors and extras reminisce about their time on the set of Star Wars (1977) and how making the film affected their lives.
Leave your thoughts about Elstree 1976.
| Village VoiceBilge EbiriThe most interesting part of Elstree 1976 comes when these actors express ambivalence about their odd celebrity. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirA deadpan documentary with notes of wistful irony ... |
| Buffalo NewsChristopher SchobertElstree 1976 is a must-see for Star Wars fanatics, and coming shortly after the much-hyped franchise adrenaline shot that is The Force Awakens, it's almost shocking to hear firsthand accounts of the first film's way-under-the-radar status. |
| Movie MezzanineMallory AndrewsSpira's take is undeniably affectionate, but offers little insight into the trilogy for Star Wars fans. Yet Elstree 1976 is so inextricably linked to George Lucas' space opera, it's difficult to imagine what the appeal could be ... |
| The PlaylistOliver LytteltonWithout patronizing or condescending, it’s an examination of how fame can change us and haunt us, and of the complicated relationships that survivors of something like “Star Wars” can have with it. |
| IGN MoviesJared PettyElstree 1976 mostly succeeds in its attempt to shed light on the people behind the makeup and masks. Here there is humility and jealousy, gratitude and bemusement, eloquently and touchingly recounted. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe whole adds up to a charming portrait of the micro-fame and full, rich (not that rich) lives of the big actors who played little roles in the most carefully watched and memorized movie since “Citizen Kane.” |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayVisually, Elstree 1976 is often striking, thanks to some haunting extreme close-ups of these actors’ Star Wars action figures. |
| RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonAt 105 minutes, Elstree 1976 became a bit of a slog for me. Visually, the talking heads-style of documentary can be very dull. |
| NY1-TVNeil RosenIt wears out its welcome after about an hour. It also raises a few questions that are left unanswered. But there's still enough here to make it worth a look for fans. |
