Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

lindakahler I went to see this film while in grad school. Three of us went together, but could only get separate seats otherwise we would have left after an hour. While being bored to death, I kept wondering if I was the only one. Suddenly a man jumped up and screamed " I cannot take any more of this F**king sh*t" and ran up the aisle of the theater. The audience applauded so I have to guess they thought it was awful as well.

paul-welford-342-150551 While Altman's offering contains important information on 70s fashion, perfect for research purposes, it delivers nothing in terms of entertainment.The only positive aspect to this thoroughly unenjoyable marathon is that, at 5x fast forward, it lasts only a little more than 30 minutes.On a side note, the minimum 10 line requirement for this review guarantees flabby, flimsy, meandering rhetoric. For 15 years I have looked forward to visiting Nashville. I will go despite this film, and look forward to expressing my expressing my opinions to both locals and tourists.In summary, the 5 minutes I have spent writing this review offered several times the order of enjoyment of the movie itself.

namashi_1 The Late/Great Robert Altman's 'Nashville' is A Great Film! A riveting tale based upon the undying spirit of mid 70's America. Altman, with an ensemble in top-form, deliver a film that's entirely engrossing.'Nashville' Synopsis: Over the course of a few hectic days, numerous interrelated people prepare for a political convention as secrets and lies are surfaced and revealed.'Nashville' is about people & their actions towards the society we live in. Its all about people exploring themselves, with politics & music as its satire. Altman handles this extremely ambitious story, with panache. He has directed the film, that's nothing short of a magnum-opus. The Legendary Filmmaker has handled each & every sequence, with detailing & maturity. Joan Tewkesbury's Screenplay is eventful, as much as its melancholic. I was moved by the journey of its multiple, multi-faced characters. Its interesting to see so many characters within one story, with each standing out, due to their diversities. 'Nashville' boasts a magnificent ensemble & all the actors pitch in tremendous performances. But, the one performer who stands out, its Lily Tomlin. In her portrayal of Linnea, a gospel singer, a wife & the loving mother of two deaf children, Tomlin gets into the skin of the character & delivers what truly can be defined as a masterclass in acting.On the whole, 'Nashville' is a richly made classic. Strongly Recommended!

Kent Ross This is truly one of the great American movies of all time, by the great American director Robert Altman. I must have watched this movie 10 times, and am ready to see it again anytime. I was 15 when I first saw it, and it had an enormous impact on me, and continues to do so to this day. Ronee Blakeley, Lillie Tomlin, Ned Beatty, Barbara Harris, Henry Gibson, Karen Black, Gwen Welles and Michael Murphy all give great performances. There are remarkable musical performances, primarily by Ronee Blakeley. That she didn't get an academy award for her performance in this film is a crime. The film has the classic Altman technique of an overlapping and very busy soundtrack (the spoken bits). You need to pay attention to get it all. This slice of life view of Nashville over a few days is really about America, post Vietnam, post-Nixon and the petering out of the counterculture. The movie is about 2.5 hours long, but you've got to hang in there till the end. Altman's magnum opus, you must see this movie! Altman's great movies include Nashville, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, MASH, Come back to 5 and dime - Jimmy Dean - Jimmy Dean, Streamers and Short Cuts. And there are many more very good movies. He was one of our great filmmakers - and sadly under- appreciated. He was an auteur, and had a unique voice and style.
