New Yorker
Deemed too exotic for theatrical release, it languished in the indie shadows for 30 years but hasn't aged a second.
Film Comment
Rating: 4/4 --
Remains as risk-taking as ever, challenging assumptions about cinema, storytelling and the gossamer boundaries between fiction and fact.
Newsday
Rating: 4/5 --
In blurring the lines between art and artifice, truth and fiction, illusion and reality, Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One ventures into uncertain terrain that few films, before or since, have dared even contemplate.

Boxoffice Magazine
Rating: B --
It was shot as cinema verite in the rebellious spring of 1968, where those under thirty were challenging the authority figures of the Establishment.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Greaves's place in history is unarguable, whether it's then, now, in the future, or all of the above.
Village Voice
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Good idea, bad execution.

Product Description:
Groundbreaking filmmaker William Greaves created a prescient meta-masterpiece with his 1968 mockumentary SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM, which fashioned a multilayered study of the filmmaking process with the movie-within-a-movie scenario of a documentary crew shooting a film crew shooting a film. This program also includes the sequel SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM: TAKE 2 1/2, which finds the director, stars, and crew revisiting the same situation 35 years later.
