Audience Member Well-acted sleeper about a young man's coming-of-age of 1968. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member watched this movie again after 20 years...fantastic drama... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member What a beautiful, lyrical movie. College dropout drifts through his life until he finally makes a decision about it - and subsequently finds out that his best interest is in absenting himself from a choice altogether. Use of music is superlative. Sensitively handled, makes some sense out of the Vietnam situation and the average American male's perspective. Hypnotic film, well handled by a largely unknown cast. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
