Critics' reviews

"A freshly conceived and staged memory of the tribulations of the mid-sixties (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"With songs that aren't that memorable and a weak plot that wants to be more relevant, Hair leaves you feeling disappointed (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

David Parkinson: Empire
"A film that has the charm of a fable and the slickness of Broadway show biz at its breathless best."

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"A smug, banal fairytale-with-a-message, redeemed only by the intermittently imaginative staging of the songs."

Time Out
"Forman has managed to recreate with amazing accuracy the rebellious mood and irreverent spirit of those confusing times."

Kathleen Carroll: New York Daily News
