VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

dfu71593 The operating principle here seems to be "generosity of spirit", both in theme and form. altman's wide-screen compositions are egalitarian in the way they give your eyes the freedom to roam the frame, with the ostensible "stars" sharing just as much screen space as the dozens of background extras. even when his characters are at their most petulant and pathetic, he treats them with an unreserved gentleness. unlike say, the coen brothers, altman doesn't see their foibles as cause for cynicism; he simply has too much affection for these people. the accumulated weight of all this takes on a remarkable poignancy in the climactic rally, which manages to offer up powerful emotional dividends by simply cross-cutting between reaction shots. the sequence is certainly tragic but altman, recognizing that life is rarely so monolithic in its emotional tenor, also infuses the proceedings with a sly humor that weirdly enough brought to mind the malfunctioning stretcher scene in MANCHESTER BY THE SEA. it's a remarkable tonal tightrope to walk, but altman does it with aplomb (and i haven't even mentioned the sheer wealth of hilarious gags in this thing, from jeff goldblum's aptly named "tricycle man" racing across the periphery of the frame to shelley duvall's character ditching her aunt's funeral to hang out with boys)

lindakahler I went to see this film while in grad school. Three of us went together, but could only get separate seats otherwise we would have left after an hour. While being bored to death, I kept wondering if I was the only one. Suddenly a man jumped up and screamed " I cannot take any more of this F**king sh*t" and ran up the aisle of the theater. The audience applauded so I have to guess they thought it was awful as well.

Smoreni Zmaj I love country music and I know movie piled up many awards and it is considered one of the greatest American movies in 70's, I understand social criticism... but I can not remember if I ever saw anything this boring. I hate to give up and I always watch movie till the end even if I don't like it, but this time I had to gather all of my energy and power of will to endure first of 3 hours and finally I gave up. I wouldn't recommend this even to enemy. It's torture....................................................

Joe Day I had seen this film before or maybe even a few times over the years but decided to watch it on DVD again this past weekend. I have been checking out Altman flicks, particularly for the director commentaries that some dvds come with.I was 20 years old in 1975 when the country was on the verge of disco and all that went with that experiment in debauchery, fantasy and excess; the whole Warhol, Bianca, Studio 54 mess, if you will, of which I was right in the middle. A young sailor, I appreciated Cinderella Liberty AND The Last Detail; a Baby Boomer, I appreciated American Graffiti AND the Exorcist. And then there is Nashville. The first thing I noticed is that I had the exact same shirt Haven's son wore, all of his shirts in fact. That right there was enough to depress me. Next, the Nashville airport - been there too and THAT depressed me. I guess you can tell by now that that period does not have really fond memories for me: the wood paneling, the Formica in avocado green, harvest gold, and I can never remember what they called the red one just all seem so cheesy. Maybe it was because in those days Times Square and most big cities were one big X-rated peep-show extravaganza. Like I said I was a sailor then and that's what we did. Anyway, I found most of the characters dull; particularly Jeff Goldblum who even then had that kind of irritating shtick about him; Carradine too (I must have been stoned back then (probably was) but I actually used to like "I'm Easy". Now, I don't think it was so hot at all. Tomlin was okay, although with all the hoopla, you'd think her part would have been more developed. Maybe it was because she had theretofore been on Laugh-In that it was a sensation. Ditto for Henry Gibson who I really thought WAS good. I don't know, maybe it was the film stock but it just all seemed old to me, like Altman's M*A*S*H. By the way, Elliot Gould showing up in a cameo just reminded me why I never cared for his smart ass either. And I honestly felt the same way about Julie Christie i.e. who the hell is SHE? Even though I knew who she was.I guess in closing, I just don't think this movie is a classic for me nor would I place it on any must see list. I'd much rather watch any number of other movies from that year. Cuckoo's nest or something.
