Medium Cool (1969)

 

A TV news reporter finds himself becoming personally involved in the violence that erupts around the 1968 Democratic National Convention. 

Expertly made mixture of fiction and documentary is intended as portrayal and political comment of its time, successfully so; its plot, however, is not particularly relevant or memorable.  

Halliwell**: "Stimulating if overlong comment on the quality of life in the sixties, immaculately made and with a rather effective though obvious twist ending."

Maltin****: "Arresting, unique film..."
