Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyA significant docu in which the director lets his rich material speak for itself
Old School Reviews - 8/10 by John A. Nesbit...as complete a picture as possible in less than two hours. And you don't even have to smell the tear gas.
User Review - 10/10 by Stephanie RAn older but excellent doc about the origins of the new left in the US. The couterculture is there, but this film puts the political content of the movements of the '60s front and centre. Very interesting reflections on the dynamics and contradictions of protest.
User Review - 10/10 by Richard AEvery student in the country should be made to watch this movie. It may be a precursor of things to come
User Review - 10/10 by Dan HBrilliant documentary. A very serious-minded, well-orchestrated piece of art and humanity all in one.
User Review - 10/10 by Herbert BThis informative documentary has lots of original news footage, letting the Berkeley free speech advocates speak for themselves, both then, in B&W snippets, and again a quarter century later, in full color interviews. (By the way, philosopher John Searle is among those interviewed.)
User Review - 8/10 by Ike CWhat began as a free speech movement on campus amongst a predominately white and priveleged student body somehow became integrated with the larger social upheaval that was going on in the working classes of america, and then mostly crumbled for a variety of internal and external reasons. the film does well to capture the time period and give an insider perspective on student organizing that can't really be found in many films, so it sort of piqued my interest as a student activist, as it should for anyone else who is into that sort of thing. I visited berkeley for the first time not long after seeing this film and it felt like a totally different universe compared to what it was back then. I was kicked out of people's park for being there too late at night (god forbid I make contact with the homeless) and then fined a bunch of money for being a non-student in a "students-only area", even when I wasn't using any of the facilities or anything. Most of the students were more concerned with typical college fare than the state of the world... not to say that's an incredibly awful thing, it's just not the berkeley it once was. It was sort of a humbling introduction to say the least. Some of the later events in this film hint to how the UC system was systematically de-radicalized in the Reagan era. Still, there is hope for change nearly fifty years later. let's not mess it up.
User Review - 8/10 by Alessandro TThis movie is a great intro to radical history. I would like more in-depth about the people and organizations that helped shape the movement, but it's still great and caught my imagination.
User Review - 8/10 by Michael SThis documentary is cool in that it explores what worked and didn't work in the perspectives of the Berkeley students that were involved in 'the revolution'. It was in hindsight that they realized they were able to help the civil rights movement and anti-war movement, but that they were not able to affect those changes at the National level. The documentary also shows why 'straight' America, and Ronald Reagan, saw them as being 'insolent kids' on the 'lunatic fringe'. Also interesting to see how they became less credible and effective as they joined forces with the Hippies and the Black Panthers.
User Review - 8/10 by Jon GNot as much drugs and psychedelia as I expected (and wanted, originally), but takes the hippie free speech movement seriously. Surprise surprise, more stuff happened than pot-smoking, drum circles and acid trips. I also didn't expect any level-headed commentary (paraphrased: "We made the mistake of thinking we were fighting for a revolution - we were fighting for rights, which is not one in the same"). No incendiary tone whatsoever. Neither side is portrayed in glowing light, but rather as they were. Take that Michael Moore.
