Critic Reviews
It’s a pretty grim portrait, but even worse it is often repetitive and boring. There are probably enough powerful segments for half a dozen or so outstanding rock videos but not a full-length feature. [13 Sept 1982]
The film adaptation of Pink Floyd's chart-topping album The Wall has all the humor and charm of a brain tumor. [21 Sept 1982, p.B4]
There is precious little story. Instead, there is a promiscuous profusion of
images, a rant of optic free association that makes Ken Russell's Tommy
appear a marvel of well-rounded narrative... A trip movie, in the old
sixties sense, but it's a bad trip, a numero uno bummer. [17 Aug 1982]
Atrocious. It's also pretentious, superfluous, superficial, shallow, dated and bilious. I'd pay money not to have seen this jumble of gooey special effects, sappy symbolism and out-of-it animation. [17 Sept 1982, p.13]
