Negative Positive
Title: sexual revolution
Review: I watched this movie on local television in the UK a couple of weeks ago, turning it on a half hour or so into it.Once I got past the shallow critique of hair styles and clothing I was able to consider what was happening socially in the US during the late 60s when this movie was conceived/filmed.I was only 3 when the movie was released but I imagine it was significant for adults at that time. Society was much more open/liberal re: sexuality and the challenging of stereotypes, such as the long-standing double standards afforded to men.My '4 star' review may be slightly high, but what motivates me to do so has more to do with the subject this movie takes on, its willingness to challenge the status quo and collective consciousness of the public at that time, as well as the honesty in which it's delivered.The final scene is hardly climactic compared with the latest Bond film but, like much of the film, there's an authentic message there.
Is the review positive or negative?
