"As a work of art I think (Critical Mass) is quite universal and deals with all quarrels (those between men and women, or men and men, or women and women, or children, or war. It is war!... It is one of the most delicate and clear statements - human relationships and the difficulties of them that I have ever seen. It is very funny, and rather obviously so. It is a magic film in that you can enjoy it, with greater appreciation, each time you look at it. Most aesthetic experiences are not enjoyable on the surface. You have to look at them a number of times before you are able to fully enjoy them, but this one stands up at once, and again and again, and is amazingly clear."

Este es uno de los filmes de Frampton que más disfruté, me parece que con la utilización del sonido explora la relación entre la imagen y el audio. Me gusta que comienza con la pantalla en negro, ya que al escuchar la conversación refractada con repeticiones e interrupciones, no me imagino una imagen que le vaya bien, pero en cuanto aparecen los primeros cuadros, la imagen y el sonido se vuelven uno, se crea una conexión que nos provoca replantearnos el poder de estos dos elementos que conforman el cine.
