Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
Its bygone-ness still abuzz with creativity and movement, Downtown 81 is a celluloid scrapbook that we can all be thankful for in helping capture the rumble before takeoff.
Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times
Alternates between being amusingly pretentious and studiously dull.
Elizabeth Weitzman
New York Daily News
As a piece of cinematic art, this meandering, shambolic film isn't much to speak of, but as a time capsule, it's priceless.
