The Big Chill Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It has all the right moves. It knows all the right words. Its characters have all the right clothes, expressions, fears, lusts and ambitions. But there's no payoff and it doesn't lead anywhere.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
An irresistibly satisfying cultural artifact.
Common Sense Media
Andrea Beach
College reunion film with mature themes won't interest teens.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
The performances represent ensemble playing of an order Hollywood films seldom have time for, with the screenplay providing each character with at least one big scene.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
More significant sociologically than artistically, Kasdan's portrait of the Baby Boom generation--the Yuppie--is a zeitgeist film that is enjoyable due to strong ensemble acting and popular tunes.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
Even if the film isn't timeless, the soundtrack certainly is.
TV Guide
Michael Scheinfeld
Strong acting and a string of classic rock and soul tunes make up for a superficial script.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
...even though it's aware of their narcissism, The Big Chill still views its characters sympathetically, even when they do little to invite much sympathy themselves.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Shallow nostalgia-trip flick.
Hollywood Reporter
Arthur Knight
What might have been a meaningful exploration of the changes wrought by 20 years of abrasive reality is diverted, essentially, into who's going to wind up sleeping with whom.
Variety
Variety Staff
Characters are generally middle-of-the-roaders, and pic lacks a tough-minded spokesman who might bring them all up short for a moment.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
There is no place for depth or nuance in this slickly engineered complacency machine.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Funny and ferociously smart.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The ease with which the group falls back into their old patterns of trust and familiarity after an awkwardly long period of separation is narratively convenient, but not really probable.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
A truly unforgettable motion picture, with a killer soundtrack
