Reviews

“Textured and smart… Mr. Scorsese makes the history of the magazine a capsule intellectual history of the last half-century.”
– Mike Hale, The New York Times

“Filmmakers have drawn on superb archival footage to make the likes of Susan Sontag and Norman Mailer as present in the film as more recent contributors like Michael Chabon, Zoe Heller and the playwright Colm Toibin.”
– Scott Foundas, Variety
