"Performances by the earnest Fox, the lunatic Lloyd, the deceptively passionate Lea Thompson, and, particularly, the bumbling-to-confident Glover, who runs away with the picture, merrily keep the ship sailing."

Total Film
Total Film"Zemeckis is able both to keep the story moving and to keep it from going too far. He handles Back to the Future with the kind of inventiveness that indicates he will be spinning funny, whimsical tall tales for a long time to come."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Handled with easy wit and flair, like a Shakespearian disguise comedy, and it made a whopping star of Fox."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Shows not only a fine comic touch but also some of the lighthearted humanism of a Frank Capra."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"To put it bluntly: if you don't like Back To The Future, it's difficult to believe that you like films at all."
