Leave your thoughts about The Atomic Cafe.
| Pacific Sun (San Rafael, CA)Richard von BusackThe Atomic Cafe is a true horror comedy, with a wealth of death's-head humor that even Dr. Strangelove can't match. |
| NewcityRay PrideCompilation essay film of the propaganda celebration of the nuclear age, both in cartoonish and apocalyptic form... So long as there are unstable madmen with nuclear codes clutched in their fists, fear rightfully abides. |
| Film ThreatNorm GidneyAs funny as it is frightening, The Atomic Cafe is a genius, tongue-in-cheek retrospective of a far less cynical time, and the lies that the government used at the time to justify their new power. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattThe film is not completely fair but it does convey a reasonably accurate sense of one aspect of the social consciousness following the War |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Joule ZelmanThe Atomic Cafe provokes a surprising number of laughs, from a soundtrack of awe-inspiringly tasteless '50s pop songs to its extracts of horribly acted army films warning of Commies on the home front. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullStrikes a middle ground between surrealism and pop culture. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinViewers old enough to remember "duck and cover" drills and homemade fallout shelters (and suits!) will get a special charge out of "Atomic's" many archival gems. |
| Village VoiceBilge EbiriThe Atomic Café at times feels like an essay film, but its points come across cumulatively, subtly. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis poignant, often funny docu consists of revelatory clips used by the government as propaganda about the Atomic Bomb. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeOne of the most trenchant, bitter and horrific looks at the 'atomic' and Cold War era. |
