The imdB reviews seem to be all over the place. I disagree that this film is brilliant, and I also disagree that this film is trash. It's somewhere in the middle, perhaps a notch or doubtfully two above that.
It's well edited. A mini-shout out to Leonard Rosenman for the musical score. The acting is good, and although I find Richard Thomas to be a bit of an odd ball of an actor, I think he does a really good job in this movie.
Honestly, I don't care what true events loosely inspired the script; it has some interesting things to say about youth at the time it was filmed/released. I agree with the reviewer who wrote that the dialogue seriously lags in important places. And the sound quality of the dialogue is lacking.
This one's great for fans of 1970s moody films with a budding narrative indicative of the decade. It feels like another ABC TV movie of the week special. Unusual casting. Decent plotline.
