Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Wit, joy, imagination, and sensational mid-'60s music.

Film.com
Robert Horton
Conveys not just a joy in music and The Beatles, but a joy in cinema.
100
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
No movie has had a greater impact on the way people looked. The music of course is immortal.

100
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
One of the most excitingly contemporary musicals ever made.
100
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
It enables us to recapture exactly the delightful sensations felt all those years ago when we and the world were young and exciting together.

100
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
It doesn't matter how many times you see these images. They're always exciting.

100
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
As joyously energetic now as the day it arrived.
100
Slate
David Edelstein
Watching the opening of A Hard Day's Night is like getting a direct injection of happiness.

100
Miami Herald
Howard Cohen
Lester managed to come up with a movie that not only holds together as a film but one that has proven timeless and rewards repeat viewings.
100
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
It's 85 minutes of screen time that represents one crystallized moment not in the Beatles' career per se but in the parallel career they forged inside all of us, the one that will last beyond any breakup, retirement or death.

100
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
In a crisply restored print, it's as joyous as ever. We loved them - yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we can love them all over again.
100
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Bursting with energy and originality even after 36 years, A Hard Day's Night is easily the best show in town.
100
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It's inspired fun.
100
Baltimore Sun
Chris Kaltenbach
A non-stop cinematic funhouse impossible to resist.
100
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
They're like gods at play, paragons of pure delight, as they mock and feign their way through a universe of mere mortals. To see the movie again is to realize that they were never entirely of this earth and that they never will be.

TV Guide
Frank Lovece
Refreshing, innovative and immensely funny.

90
Washington Post
David Segal
Still a marvel of verve and bone-dry wit, the movie has been treated kindly by time.
88
Charlotte Observer
Lawrence Toppman
The songs are pure joy, for them and for us.
80
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
You wanna feel all right? This is the holiday movie that will do it.
70
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
No previous rocksploitation film had ever done so splendid a job of selling its performers.

70
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A wacky, offbeat piece of filming, charged with vitality, and inventiveness by director Dick Lester.

70
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Lester serves up a helping of what, on this side of the pond, we came to think of as kicky, mod British filmmaking
