- 63Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie presents the surfaces of Obermaier's life but never lets us understand who she was.
- 50SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirDeliciously dumb, reasonably well-made.
- 50The New York TimesNathan LeeThe New York TimesNathan LeeLike most flower-power nostalgia trips, Eight Miles High has the irksome effect of reminding the audience -- whether too young or too square -- that it missed out on the grooviest moment in history, man. But as these things go, this one goes with flair.
- 50Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe film's tone is utterly indistinct, beyond fatuous adoration of its subject.
- Any film that uses the Stooges' drone-y song "We Will Fall" to underscore a drug-love scene can't be all bad, but they, as apparently does Uschi, deserve better than this.
- 38New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoHas little to offer beyond titillation and pretty landscapes.
- 30Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesGerman supermodel Uschi Obermaier slept with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and all we get is this lousy biopic.
- If the movie had greater style, it might approach the delirious badness of "The Valley Of The Dolls," but it's too dull to qualify as camp.
- 20VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibOne long tease -- not in a voyeuristic sense, since its heroine, as nakedly incarnated by pouty Polish sexpot Natalia Avelon, hides none of her obvious talents under a bushel.
- 0Village VoiceVillage VoiceStoned on the story's '60s-sex-bomb potential, Bornhak piles on the sex and forgets the bomb; the result is unaffecting filmmaking, as slack-jawed and superficial as its subject.
