| New York TimesManohla DargisWhether together or apart, Mr. Sand and Mr. Scully seemed to be operating on a similar wavelength, and the movie gets a lot of mileage from their sometimes excellent, at times hair-raising, occasionally puckishly funny and altogether wild adventures. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonThe Sunshine Makers is a true San Francisco story. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersThis documentary meanders a bit as it goes between time periods, but it’s never less than entertaining and illuminating. |
| User ReviewRock FWonderful true story brilliantly told. Go see it. |
| User ReviewConnie LThe director's name here is incorrect - it should say Cosmo Feilding Mellen. |
| User ReviewJohn BI can't recommend this film highly enough. I was there, and restores to vivid memory a very important time in American history, the aftershocks of which are being felt now, as the "War Between the 50s and 60s rages on. Impeccably researched, exquisitely edited, and heroically honest, you want to see this film even if you no interest in the topic,. |

| User ReviewMorgan MOne of the best documentaries I have seen in a while. Emotive, engaging and elegantly told. A vital piece of work. |

Quirky, weird and a trip. |
