At the beginning of his second year at a prestigious Manhattan conservatory for high school students, introverted cellist Jeremy Jones (Robby Benson) lives a regimented life centered on honing his budding musical talent. But that all changes when the shy Jones meets freshman ballerina Susan Rollins (Glynnis O'Connor). Jones manages to build up the nerve to ask her out on a date, and -- in spite of parental pressures -- the two begin an innocent romance that will transform them both.

Simple, comfortable in its limited storytelling goals, with Barron looking to replicate a specific feeling of awakening hormones and new encounters, and he manages to do so with unsettling authenticity at times. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
And though the film never becomes entirely engaging, it's impossible to entirely dismiss it... Go to Full Review

Young love is awkward and Jeremy is about young love. But Jeremy is also an awkward movie rather than one that simply dramatizes awkwardness. Go to Full Review

For those who were young in the 1970's it is a reminder of highschool love and loss. A charming movie with a lovely sound track.
