Free Love

About This Movie

Free Love from '78 is one of those quirky gems that just doesn’t fit neatly into one box. The tone mixes lighthearted comedy with a layer of drama that feels pretty authentic to the era. You’ve got these two women navigating life, love, and friendship, and it’s refreshing to see their bond take precedence over the guys they date. The pacing is relaxed, allowing for some natural laughs and emotional moments that resonate. The performances have a certain charm, though the director remains a bit of a mystery—adds to its underground vibe, I guess. What makes it stand out is how it reflects a period of shifting social mores, and that’s something collectors often appreciate.

Free Love has had a bit of a cult following, though it’s not the easiest title to track down on physical media. VHS copies pop up every now and then, but they’re not exactly flooding the market, so collectors tend to keep an eye out for it. The lack of a definitive collector's edition means that most copies are a bit rough around the edges, adding to that charmingly vintage feel. Keep your eyes peeled at estate sales or niche film festivals; you might just stumble upon this little treasure.
