Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
Perhaps because the Beatles were considered such a draw, perhaps because the songs were counted on to sell the film, there was no agenda to dumb down the material or hard-sell the story. Instead of contrived urgency, there's unpressured whimsy, and the movie exists as pure charm, expressed in fantastical imagery. And then there are the songs.

Film Threat -
For all of its groovy fun, Yellow Submarine offers a subliminal reminder that the power of love never goes out of fashion.

|
Austin Chronicle -
Visually inventive cartoon is complemented by clever, whimsical narration and 11 songs from the Beatles.
|
|
Empire -
A garish, gorgeous example of pop art at its finest.

|
Time -
If the result seems less a coherent story than a two-hour pot high, Submarine is still a breakthrough combination of the feature film and art's intimacy with the unconscious.
