My Psychedelic Love Story

About This Movie

So, 'My Psychedelic Love Story' dives into the intricate life of Timothy Leary, but through Joanna Harcourt-Smith's lens, which is pretty unique. The documentary feels like a stroll through a vivid memory, with Joanna's reflections adding a personal touch that pulls you in. There's a certain atmospheric quality, blending archival footage with interviews that really captures the era's spirit. The pacing ebbs and flows, sometimes dreamy, other times jarring, mirroring the highs and lows of Leary's life. It’s less about hard facts and more about the emotional landscape they navigated together. The way Joanna recounts their experiences, it’s almost poetic at times. Definitely a film that resonates on different levels.
