The 70s

About This Movie

The 70s really captures that raw, chaotic energy of a time when everything felt so uncertain and charged. You follow Dexter, Eileen, Byron, and Christie – they've just graduated and are trying to figure out life post-Kent State. It’s messy and realistic; their lives take divergent paths influenced by the civil rights movement, feminism, and the political corruption of Watergate. The pacing feels almost documentary-like at times, with a slow burn that immerses you in the era's tension. The performances are genuine, and there's this palpable sense of disillusionment. It’s not flashy, but that just adds to its authenticity. You can almost feel the weight of those times in every scene.
