The brilliance of the film is the way in which Allen pays tribute to radio while subtly condemning television, which, he seems to be arguing, has partially robbed us of our imaginations.
A movie that draws you close to it like listeners around that glowing radio dial.
Humane and perceptive memoir from Allen, with a pleasant visual nostalgia and the usual slew of impressive performances.
Radio Days maintains a joyful balance between reality and a world of dreams. [14 Mar 1987]
It's pure nostalgia--the past sweetened and trivialized. The mood is soft regret: he treats the old songs as a value that we've lost.
Radio Days, is an occasionally charming trifle, a cinematic bauble that - held up to just the right light, soft and undemanding - sparkles quite prettily. But add just a hint of the glare cast by a raised expectation, and this lightweight thing fades right out of view. [30 Jan 1987]
Without a story or, for that matter, any theme but a kind of aimless nostalgia, you peel and peel away at it only to find, in the end, nothing.
