Consequences

About This Movie

Consequences (1977) weaves a rather somber tale of young love tinged with the weight of reality. Liza, a schoolgirl, finds herself entangled in the complexities of life when she becomes pregnant by her classmate's brother. The film dives deep into the emotional turmoil faced by both characters as they navigate the expectations and pressures from their parents. The atmosphere is thick with tension, heightened by the performances that feel genuine, albeit a bit raw. Pacing can be a tad uneven, which adds to that sense of adolescent confusion. What really stands out is how it takes a frank look at the consequences of choices, making it a distinctive entry in this niche of 70s cinema.

Consequences has had limited distribution over the years, making it somewhat of a rarity in collector circles. Its availability has mostly been on obscure VHS tapes and a few digital releases, leaving many collectors on the lookout for original formats. The film’s approach to its themes and the raw performances, though not widely recognized, have led to a small but dedicated community of enthusiasts interested in its impact and context within the 1970s cinematic landscape.
