Review of Psych-Out

Psych-Out (1968)
6/10
A Bit of a Mess
26 January 2019
A good try but really misses the mark. A shame considering the film had the opportunity to make a statement about an important moment in history at one of the key places: San Francisco in 1968. The actors can act because they all went on to do good work. The problem was the script, and the muddled story. Too convoluted to break down but one comes away, if one had not been alive at that time, thinking the music sucked, the drugs sucked, and no one had much in the way of values or morals. But having lived thru the period and done drugs and experienced the music I have to say it was a hellava lot better than anything in this film. Good try but can't recommend, sadly.
