Critic Reviews:

The precise and relaxed snowballing of silent-comedy idioms becomes, beautifully, a '68 uprising – CinePassion

The film makes a strong argument for the liberating joys of disorder. – The Dissolve

Sellers is best when he is on the move and liable to get himself into trouble – rec.arts
