	Author	Review
United States	The Hollywood Reporter	"M★A★S★H is irreverent of many things: war, sex, bureaucracy, military decorum, but never of the unquenchable spirit of its people"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Most comedies want us to laugh at things that aren't really funny; in this one we laugh precisely because they're not funny. We laugh, that we may not cry (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Alan Morrison Empire	As a savage comedy about man's rebellion in the face of death it has rarely been bettered (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"It's frantic, clever fun, but in comparison with later works such as 'Thieves Like Us' and 'The Long Goodbye', its cynical stance often rings hollow"	NEU
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"In the end 'M.A.S.H.' succeeds, in spite of its glaring faults, because Gould, Sutherland, Skerritt, Jo Ann Pflug and Roger Bowen are all believable and bitingly funny"	POS
United Kingdom	Noah Gittell The Guardian	"It may be remembered for its youthful subversions, but its protagonists treat women with the same disrespect that their fathers did, and it portended a troubling future"	NEU
