Neither hard nor softcore. Yugoslav filmmaker Dusan Makavejev's first pic in the West, is provocative but also arbitrary.

Top CriticThis is not a film about which you can have mixed feelings. You either love it or loathe it; you are either on its wavelength or you feel assaulted by it. I stand in the latter category.

I’m not convinced of this sometimes dull and inarguably self-indulgent piece of politicarotica’s masterpiecitude.

Only manages to turn the stomach.

This once-banned film is a trippy ride.

Potentially one of the most scandalous films ever made -- except that it has been little seen outside France and has not aged well.

The over-all work remains a courageous example of a personal kind of film making that, to me, leads nowhere.

Top CriticI didn't hate it, although it affected me in bewildering and sometimes unpleasant ways. I didn't find it a success, but I found it an audacious attempt, and it's filled with images impossible to forget.

Top CriticSweet Movie certainly has varied political aims, but the message is hindered by graphic practices and sex.

By turns hilarious and shocking, thanks to the director's penchant for startling imagery and bodily fluids, the passage of time may have deadened their effect but they still have the power to ruffle censorial feathers.

A very bizarre arthouse oddity.

Some call it art. I call it spinach

Nobody will ever accuse this one of being formulaic.

inevitably degenerates into something Charles Manson might have produced

Though much of the content is scandalous, the title is ultimately an accurate one -- the sensibility behind the images is innocent, enthusiastic, and childlike.
