Age has not been particularly kind to it, but... [it's] carried off with far more competence and assurance than many directorial debuts have enjoyed.
If I hear "Come Saturday Morning" one more time, I will throw something at innocent Pookie!
Liza Minnelli starring as a free spirit named "Pookie" could get old fast--but it doesn't, and the movie is warm and engaging.
Audience Reviews for The Sterile Cuckoo (Pookie)
Dated and forgettable early Liza Minnelli piece. These themes have been revisited countless times and in a much better way.
Super Reviewer
Quiet drama with Liza very impressive in an early role before she ossified into a sequined showboat. The view of college life is dated but the emotions are as real today as they were in the late 60's.

Super Reviewer
i loved this film...years and years ago...tender and sweet...poignant.
