Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

The movie presents the surfaces of Obermaier's life but never lets us understand who she was. Read full review

Nathan Lee

Like most flower-power nostalgia trips, Eight Miles High has the irksome effect of reminding the audience -- whether too young or too square -- that it missed out on the grooviest moment in history, man. But as these things go, this one goes with flair. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

Deliciously dumb, reasonably well-made. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Has little to offer beyond titillation and pretty landscapes. Read full review

J.R. Jones

German supermodel Uschi Obermaier slept with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and all we get is this lousy biopic. Read full review

Sam Adams

If the movie had greater style, it might approach the delirious badness of "The Valley Of The Dolls," but it's too dull to qualify as camp. Read full review

Michelle Orange

Stoned on the story's '60s-sex-bomb potential, Bornhak piles on the sex and forgets the bomb; the result is unaffecting filmmaking, as slack-jawed and superficial as its subject. Read full review
