Chicago ReaderJonathan Rosenbaum
A highly entertaining form of ecological agitprop--radical but accessible. Read full review

Film ThreatTim Merrill
Filmmaker Ron Mann and actor/activist Woody Harrelson have followed up their hilarious 2000 documentary "Grass" with the equally amusing Go Further. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleWalter Addiego
Actor Woody Harrelson is in his full activist mode in this low-key and loose documentary. Read full review

Portland OregonianMarc Mohan
Overall, the trip successfully embodies the spirit of the original Magic Bus man, Ken Kesey, whom these modern-day pranksters visit in a poignant scene filmed just months before his death. Read full review

The New York TimesDana Stevens
Mr. Harrelson seems appealingly goodhearted, but his naïve idealism leaves him always on the edge of self-parody. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean Axmaker
Whether Mann's film will make a difference, however, is another question. He devotes little time to really exploring the issues, leaving the film a patchwork of assertions that, while they may be true, have to be taken on faith. Read full review

Village VoiceJorge Morales
Go Further meanders--narratively as well as geographically--all over the map. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorDavid Sterritt
Meant to be a romp in the old Ken Kesey tradition, it's more like a dull drive with a bunch of leftover flower children. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyElla Taylor
Without the actor’s name and amiably demented grin, Go Further would be an unspeakably tedious and preachy travelogue. With them, this insupportably long home movie, unremarkably directed by Ron Mann, is merely dull. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
Like much of Mann's work, it's an unabashed love letter to the counterculture. But this time out, Mann has made an unintentionally vicious satire of the fuzzyheaded self-intoxication and impracticality of the progressive left, a film that's far more scathing than anything Tom Wolfe could dream up.
