Summary: Didn't care for this one.
Review: This movie was a great disappointment. The animation was average, there were none of the rich textured backgrounds usually found in Ralph Bakshi films. I didn't care for the story at all.

Summary: 2-1/2 stars -- Maybe I came in late
Review: This part-live action, part-animated movie from 1973 seemed to get rave reviews, and I was up late one night, so I decided to check it out. But I'm sorry; I just didn't get this movie. I did understand that the main character, Michael, had a hard life and some very dysfunctional (divorced) parents. But then the movie got all twisted. By watching the movie, you can tell that was sort of the point, but it was still weird in that a lot of the scenes and secondary characters didn't seem to have anything to do with each other. Also, the "n" word was thrown around a lot, but I guess I can let that side since it was the '70s. Maybe you have to be drunk to understand this movie or something.Anthony Rupert

Summary: unpleasant, but not bad
Review: Watching Ralph Bakshi is something of a guilty pleasure. You always get the feeling that things could be a whole lot better, and yet no one else ever seems to bring animation to life with such a personal style. Heavy Traffic has a lot of faults, and may also be the best thing he's ever done (though I know there are a lot of Wizard and even Ring fans out there). Not for everyone, but fairly entertaining in its own troubled way.
