For Shirley Clarke's direction there can be nothing but praise... This is a film with more creative flair than any that has come out of America for years.

The Connection is not a great movie but it is a singular and multi-faceted historical artifact.

With so much to offer, the picture can be excused from the duties of entertainment in the pleasurable sense.

The quartet of musicians, led by the pianist and composer Freddie Redd and the caustic-toned post-bop saxophonist Jackie McLean, perform brilliantly on-camera as they dramatize both the agonized wait and the needed high.

A lean, mean saga of jazz, junk and rebellion.

The junkies, as expected, are the real show, and it's here that the theatrical predilections emerge, less "that Barton Fink feeling" and more The Iceman Cometh.
