Critic Reviews of "The Decline of Western Civilization"
VarietyMarch 26, 2009A bracing, stimulating and technically superb close-up look at the LA punk scene, pic is pitched at a perfect distance to allow for simultaneous engagement in the music and spectacle, and for rueful contemplation of what it all might mean.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006The interviews are mostly very funny, probably not always intentionally so. It's far from unmissable, but it's valuable rock history with some great noise.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004The Decline of Western Civilization' is a shrewd and engrossing documentary even for audiences who have absolutely no patience for the music it includes.
Chicago ReaderJanuary 01, 2000[A] still potent 1981 documentary about Los Angeles punk rock.
ColeSmithey.comFebruary 13, 2017You can't put a price on a filmic document such as this one.
Radio TimesJuly 18, 2016This is the first in a trilogy of rock documentaries made by Spheeris that, viewed today, seem like valuable cultural documents. But your granny won't like it.
TV GuideJuly 18, 2016This often-fascinating slice of rock history wisely avoids high-profile punk groups, and instead opts for bands who are still struggling to pay their rent.
Japan TimesJuly 18, 2016This was the first time anyone had seen a mosh pit on-screen, and Spheeris somehow gets right in the scrum, capturing a blur of flailing bodies.
Arkansas Democrat-GazetteJune 21, 2015...a perfect symbol for the nihilistic hardcore punk rock that developed in Los Angeles - an angry and unwholesome scene that grew parallel to the more intellectual New York scene
DVDLaserJune 10, 2005the documentary is quite enjoyable
