"An irresistibly satisfying cultural artifact."
— Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"The Big Chill represents the best of mainstream American film making. It's a reminder that the same people who turn out our megabuck fantasies are often capable of working even more effectively on the small, intimate scale of The Big Chill."
— Vincent Canby, Vincent Canby
"Funny and ferociously smart. This maturing generation never played Taps with such glamour or good humor. Play the music and let the big chill—the knowledge that "we're all alone out there, and we're going out there tomorrow"—melt away in the warmth of the feel-good movie of '83."
— Richard Corliss, Time
