Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

The rare case in which a filmmaker's unadulterated worship of his subjects adds force and resonance--and not just luster--to the way that we see them.

Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

Like Workman's other films, it's a time capsule that sings.

Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy

Witty, treasure-filled and nostalgic in the best sense.

The New York Times Janet Maslin

A stirring, kaleidescopic documentary.

LA Weekly Steven Mikulan

A witty exploration of cultural mythology, while simultaneously contributing to that mythology.

Los Angeles Times John Anderson

An ambitious and largely successful documentary testimony-tribute to the founders of the so-called Beat movement.

Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten

Failings do not get in the way of The Source providing a basic primer on the genesis and lasting influence of these cultural icons of the 20th century.

New York Post Rod Dreher

As a work of historical documentation, The Source suffers from Workman's wholly celebratory take on the movement.

Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum

Documentary filmmaker Chuck Workman has a slick and entertaining way of stitching together old footage and practically no analytical or historical insight at all.
