Berkeley is a coming of age story about a man who enters Berkeley as a boy and finds himself in a movement, the anti-war movement. I tend to like these movies because they have a sense of place. You can almost feel like your a part of it. Berkeley does not disappoint and you feel swept up in Ben Sweet's story. After seeing it I got a longing for a time when protest still worked and free love was in the air. It reminded me of Stephen Kings - Hearts in Atlantis, the book.

While this movie is not for everyone, there is very little action and there are some corny scenes. I really enjoyed it and recommend it.

"Isn't it interesting how you can fall in love before even speaking a word" "Words tend to get in the way"
