Overview
- Directed by Morgan Neville and narrated by Jodie Foster, the 98‑minute documentary is now streaming on Netflix.
- Reviewers highlight an impressive roster of voices, including Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, Ellen Burstyn, Albert Brooks, Patton Oswalt, and Wesley Morris.
- The film’s premise ties a post‑Watergate national funk to the era’s movies, a thesis critics call plausible yet thinly argued.
- Multiple reviews fault the scope for treating 1975 as a loose timeframe and for leaning on 1976 releases such as Network and All the President’s Men.
- Critics describe a clip‑driven, rapid montage approach that skims topics without depth, with some suggesting the material would suit a longer series and noting the late arrival near the year’s 50th‑anniversary end.
