Wild in the Streets is a kind of instant classic, a revved-up La Chinoise or Privilege for the drive-ins in summertime. Jun 4, 2014 | Full Review…

Despite its rough edges and airy trimmings, the film has a chilling nub of possibility to it. Jun 4, 2014

An often chilling political science fiction drama, with comedy, the production considers the takeover of American government by the preponderant younger population. Jun 4, 2014 | Full Review…

For this audience, Wild in the Streets needs no serious political comment and no real understanding of how pop music and the mass media work together. It's a silly film, but it does communicate in the simplest, most direct terms. Jun 4, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Shelley Winters, as George's mother, gives the most tasteless performance of her career, while Barry Shear directs as if he'd seen Dr. Strangelove a few too many times. Jun 4, 2014 | Full Review…

A movie entirely made by untrustworthy-older 30s, it is an attempt to cram into an antique philosophical and esthetic frame a phenomenon that had, long before they began shooting, transcended that frame. Aug 30, 2019 | Full Review…

Even acknowledging it as a sign of the times, it comes off as awfully obvious in its satiric implications, making easy points while limping its way toward a daft denouement. Sep 17, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

It's a dark, dark comment on 1968 youth culture, not always elegant to watch but unusual for its time. Jun 4, 2014 | Full Review…

A humorous and inventive political satire that, aside from datedness and some technical flaws, is entirely watchable and witty. Jun 4, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

When this modish satire of teenage rebellion was released at the fag-end of the 1960s, it must have seemed a lot more cutting than it does now. Jun 4, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Truly wild in '68, even now an acid high Shelley Winters is unique. Jun 4, 2014 | Rating: 3/5

If it's taken as satire, it's passable. If it's taken seriously, forget it. Jun 4, 2014 | Rating: 3/5
