Top Critic
An affectionate but unsentimental recreation of suburban teen culture in the rock -- and pot -- drenched 70s.

Top Critic A better-than-average teen movie but not much more, at least if you aren't a member of Linklater's generation.

Blissful, prelapsian adolescent endangerment, familiar to a bygone era before the country became so uptight about everything and anything that could maybe, possibly, under the right circumstances, kill you.

A slightly above average plotless teen film filled with nostalgia.

Linklater's first masterpiece--possibly his best film--presents an accurate collective portrait of youth circa 1976, which unfolds in a casual, spontaneous, and charming manner as interlaced tales of pranks and adventures.

Dazed and Confused is a perfect movie. It flawlessly captures the spirit of the '70s while arguing for a clear universality in the high school experience.

O tom nostálgico, embalado por uma trilha impecável, confere um charme irresistível ao filme.

Seriously funny, and shorn of any hint of nostalgia or wish-fulfilment, this is pretty much where it's at.

Top Critic Hysterically Funny and ultimately enriching, "Dazed and Confused" takes some pretty genuine themes - rebelling, the thought of growing up too fast, and life after school - and spices it with a nice blend of wired humour.

Not only portrays flawlessly a 24-hour period on the last day of school in 1976, but it captures the crushing boredom of a small town.

Linklater ... examines a period when indulging in vices was viewed as a coming-of-age rite of passage rather than a life-threatening act of immorality.

Maybe the best movie ever made about American teenagers, casual and funny in a totally unique way.

Shows the aimlessness and amorality of youth who don't have a clue to the rituals that could give their lives meaning.

Dazed and Confused has an enjoyably playful spirit, one that amply compensates for its lack of structure.
