Rating: 3/4 -- Looking back at the strong, young cast, the evocative sense of time and place and the thrilling ocean imagery, Big Wednesday certainly deserves a spot among the pantheon of classic surfing films. Full Review

Rating: B- -- Ambitious in goal, John Millius' tale suffers from an inconsistent tone, trying to be elegiac, nostalgic, and mythical in depicting the impact of Vietnam and aging on a clique of three surfers between 1962 and 1974 but the acting and imagery are good. Full Review

A poorly made film that lacks ambiguity and results excessively evident. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review

Rating: A -- [VIDEO ESSAY] Milius constantly revisits the ocean's churning surf as a literal and metaphoric yardstick to underscore the movie's themes of personal responsibility, loyalty, and the pressures of unpredictable social change. Full Review

Imparts quintessential elements of the male psyche more persuasively than Milius' other gung-ho action pictures

Description by OLDIES.com:

No matter what rolled in on the tides of time, California surfing buddies Matt, Jack and Leroy knew they'd stick together. And that they’d be ready when a rare 20-foot swell hits the coast.
