Roger Ebert's 50 Greatest Film Reviews
38. Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1973) -
Director: Hall Bartlett
Ebert called Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a movie about a seagull based on the bestseller by Richard Bach, the biggest pseudocultural, would-be metaphysical ripoff of the year.
I hardly ever walk out of movies, and in fact I sometimes make a point of sitting through bad ones, just to get ammunition for a juicy review. But this one was too much. I left when Jonathan had dragged himself, groggy and bleeding, onto some flotsam.
