A Nice Kid Like You is a fascinating peek into the lives of East Coast college students during the tumultuous 70s. The film has this raw, unfiltered vibe; it captures candid interviews that touch on everything from drug experimentation to the weighty issues of politics and personal relationships. The pacing is a bit meandering, but that really lends itself to the documentary's intimate feel. You get this sense of realness, like you’re sitting in on these students' discussions. It’s not polished, but that’s what makes it striking. The performances are, well, genuine. It’s distinctive in how it doesn’t shy away from the complexities of youth, making you reflect on the cultural climate of that era.
