Amazing film. It changed my life., 18 December 1999
10/10
Author: Beaumont-4 from Hamilton, Ontario

I don't know what you think, but this is the most disturbing film I've ever seen in my life. In fact, it's the only disturbing film I've ever seen in my life! I stayed awake in bed for hours thinking about it, thinking about the very horrific ending that I won't tell you what it is. I'm only 14, but this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I especially liked the brilliant use of camera work.

The story focuses on the Columbia University communist riots in 1968 that I had no prior knowlege of before I saw this masterpiece.

10 out of 10.
