M*A*S*H (MASH) Reviews
Top CriticAlthough it is impudent, bold, and often very funny, it lacks the sense of order (even in the midst of disorder) that seems the special province of successful comedy.

Austin Chronicle
Altman's irreverent portrait of a Korean War medical unit.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Not only essential to an understanding of its director, it's equally essential to any understanding of film at the time it was made.

Robert Altman's Korea-as-Vietnam 'comedy' demonstrates the best -- and worst -- of '70s cinema.

Old School Reviews
Before ... the next war, both sides need to hire Altman as the director. He knows the territory, works with ensemble casts better than anyone, and provides plenty of laughs.

If you're among the TV show's multitude of fans but don't know much about its progenitor, you may be surprised at how much edgier and daring the dark movie comedy is.

Altman's black comedy perfectly expressed the anarchic, rebellious spirit of the 1970s with its blistering anti-war message and contempt for authority.

Weird feelings watching this flick. It's like funny, but after ten years of watching Alan Alda's TV series... it's kind of negated the impact.
