In the 1960s, a small-town group of friends -- Danilo (Craig Wasson), David (Michael Huddleston), Tom (Jim Metzler) and Georgia (Jodi Thelen) -- experience love and life changes as they branch out and return to each other through the course of the culturally revolutionary decade. One unifying force among them is the love the three men share for Georgia, who receives and returns all their affections, although none of them are prepared to make a lasting commitment beyond friendship.

Tesich wisely skirts dogma to focus on the human stories, which are funny, touching and unpredictable. Penn deserves high marks for drawing remarkable performances from the unseasoned cast.

4/4

This movie brings the almost unbelievable contradictions of [the 1960s] into sharp relief, not as nostalgia or as a re-creation of times past, but as a reliving of all of the agony and freedom of the weirdest ten years any of us is likely to witness.

Ends in an unconvincing pat way after much tragedy.

B

Arthur Penn's saga is too episodic and the acting is uneven, but film's scope is ambitious, the issues socially relevant, and it centers on a new type of Amrican heroine, one in love with all her husband's friends--call is menage a quatre.

2.5/5

Some say this is a better-than-average film that effectively captures the tumultuous sixties and the young folks who were caught up in the craziness of it all. I don't see it.
