Rating: 3/4 --
The Atomic Cafe is a chilling memory of life in the first years under the mushroom umbrella.

Chicago Sun-Times
Viewers old enough to remember "duck and cover" drills and homemade fallout shelters (and suits!) will get a special charge out of "Atomic's" many archival gems.

Los Angeles Times
The Atomic Café at times feels like an essay film, but its points come across cumulatively, subtly.

Village Voice
The film fails to offer even the barest social context for its material.

...Amusing and provocative content...

Rating: 10/10 --
As funny as it is frightening, The Atomic Cafe is a genius, tongue-in-cheek retrospective of a far less cynical time, and the lies that the government used at the time to justify their new power.

Product Description:
A hilarious, harrowing collection of government propaganda films intended to "educate" the public about nuclear war. Among the featured shorts are Burt the Turtle showing school children how to "duck and cover," a happy family going about its daily routine in a fallout shelter, and several army training films.
