	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"For anyone interested in the movies, music, fashion and art of the period, 'My Generation' will contain much that's entertaining (...) The longer the doc goes on, the more it sacrifices depth for frenetic overload"	NEU
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"As long as you accept there’ll be no genuine analysis in 'My Generation', Michael Caine’s joy ride through his youth offers significant pleasures."	NEU
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"This brisk assemblage of archive material and new and old interviews offers some enjoyable insights (...) [It] is so disappointing in its simplification of the 60s as merely a burst of dizzy spectacle."	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"Distilling fact and myth about Swinging London into a manic vibrating 85 minutes (...) The use of archival footage in this movie is staggering"	POS
