	Author	Review
United States	Howard Thompson The New York Times	"If there is a sicker, and more tedious, overbaked and inane serving of psychosexual nonsense this season than 'That Cold Day in the Park,' it will have to go far to beat [this]"	NEG
United Kingdom	Time Out	"The results are distressingly predictable (...) There is sufficient interest in his treatment of yet another woman character going bananas to repay committed admirers."	NEU
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"The material is somewhat pretentious and hackneyed (...) The intermittent homophobia isn't exactly winning either"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The plot is too improbable to be taken seriously, and yet director Robert Altman apparently does take it seriously (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
