Really Brilliant Reviews (-contemporarily) of
the movie '2001 A Space Odyssey'

 "...whimsical space opera... ...just obscure enough to be annoying..."
                   [from Newsweek, April 15 1968.]

 "...hideously funny..."
                   [from New Yorker, April 13, 1968.]

 "...will arouse controversy, but leaves doubt that the film makers 
  themselves knew precisely what they were flying at."
                   [from Time, April 19, 1968.]*


 [Be it noted:   Michael Sargow, in Film Society Review, seems to 
 have understood it all well enough... but he wrote two years later, in
 January of 1970.]


*(True, this quote is about the film's ending... but the accusation of unconsciousness against Kubrick & Clarke is, well... inappropriate.)
