	Author	Review
United States	Variety	"One of the most ambitious, and more artistically, successful, 'backstage' musical dramas (...) 'Nashville' is one of Altman’s best films"	POS
United States	Arthur Knight The Hollywood Reporter	"Never before has an American movie had quite this texture, this density both of visuals and of sound track. It is like a great tapestry, each strand clear and clean"	POS

United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"After I saw it I felt more alive, I felt I understood more about people, I felt somehow wiser. It's that good a movie (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"It's a dazzling, emblematic portrait of America in 1975, both trapped in amber yet still vitally alive."	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"A landmark American film (...) A coherent and persuasive portrait of a society that has somewhere along the way carelessly abandoned its original ideals and turned instead to [false gods]"	POS
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"The film features so many significant, memorable characters that just naming them all and drawing the connections between them would require a lengthy essay of its own"	POS
