...it is every bit as cultish and hallucinatory as the ones that Linklater has made before, like Waking Life from 2001 and A Scanner Darkly from 2006.

It’s an approach that allows “Apollo 10 ½” to recreate places that no longer exist, fulfill Stanley’s fantasies of floating among the stars, and render all of its scenes as equal on screen as they are in Linklater’s memory.

This magnificent mid-century memory piece from Richard Linklater is up there with the director’s finest films.

...the movie is abundantly playful, changing 'film stocks' depending on what the family is watching (or ignoring at the drive-in) or where Stan’s imagination is roaming.
