Bright Wall/Dark Room’s review published on Letterboxd:
"In THX 1138, Lucas’ love is one for an artist’s work, rather than his muse. His heartbreak is that of a compromised creation, rather than a Shakespearean tragedy. After all, his protagonist escapes imprisonment and avoids the fate of a tragic hero.
But even as the fictional world of Lucas’ painfully personal debut acts as an ode to a man who dares to defy corporate strictures, THX 1138’s very existence is also a dire warning to his future self about the futility of defying such an all-consuming conglomerate."
