★★★½ review by Parker on Letterboxd
Rather than being shot on film, this movie used a technique where it was shot straight onto LSD and cocaine.

★★★½ review by ChristopherDay on Letterboxd
Somehow watching Dennis Hopper feed eggs to a raccoon is the least strange thing going on in this film.

★★★½ review by Madeleine on Letterboxd
Somewhere between The Apple and The Dark Backward made by minds who don't have a plan for coherently entertaining you so much but care deeply about making this thing they want to make. Those minds being Neil Young and pals.
The weird DEVO / Neil Young, lead by Booji Boy in a crib, jam session is the best part of this movie and I feel cheated it wasn't a lot longer. It could have been half the movie and I would have walked out of that theater shouting 5 stars.

★★★★ review by Ben Armington on Letterboxd
Broad comedy aiming to be an irreverent satire about podunk americana in the sickly glow of the nuclear age that looks like it was a lot more fun to make than it is to watch. Features incredible footage of Devo and Neil Young ripping through a deliriously unhinged version of 'Hey Hey My My' that is worth the price of admission alone. Dennis Hopper seems to be having a great time playing two roles and has a memorable scene with a racoon.
