Across the Universe
This story tells about a real background we live through the Beatles and the Vietnam War, which seems to have greatly influenced the lives of some. The story began during the Vietnam War on a romantic background through a love story between a top-class American girl and another poor artist from Librebodlian.

A marvelous visual experience that works even for non-Beatles fans.

'Across the Universe' is whimsical silliness, imaginatively constructed but precious and gratingly excessive.

The actors all do considerable justice to the Fab Four's classics, but they are ultimately failed by Taymor's neglect of actual story.

chooses cheesy and nostalgic mis-en-scene over meaningful engagement with the musical material. A terrible disappointment.

...Julie Taymor's rhapsodic mash note to John, Paul, George and Ringo falls just short of breathtaking.

Visually and thematically audacious...

...the long and winding road that is Julie Taymor's opulent, eye-filling, and disappointingly uninvolving musical extravaganza...

Across the Universe is a classic example of ambition exceeding execution.

Most of the songs are performed in such saccharine style and staged so literally that they almost seem like they belong in a Broadway show. That's a very bad thing.

[A] visionary attempt to wed a story of young love and 1960s war protest to the Lennon-McCartney catalog.

Across the Universe isn't beholden to any stage incarnation. It owes its vision to the vibrant imagination of its director, who created a musical that reminds us how cultural-political events can change our tune.
