Elstree 1976's reviews
Media reviews
New York Times
"'Star Wars' fans will, of course, love this film, but it?s also a thought-provoking exploration of the dawning of our current age."
The Playlist
"Without patronizing or condescending, it?s an examination of how fame can change us and haunt us, and of the complicated relationships that survivors of something like 'Star Wars' can have with it."
Los Angeles Times
"The best parts of 'Elstree', not surprisingly, are the war stories these nine men and one woman share, their vivid memories of a shoot one calls "as primitive as it gets"."
The Hollywood Reporter
This is a genial, humane project with obvious fan appeal. But for anyone expecting a definitive behind-the-scenes film about the making of 'Star Wars', this is not the documentary you have been looking for.
New York Post
'Elstree 1976' is an amazing experience. I?m shocked that a documentary revisiting the making of 'Star Wars' could be this boring.
