i saw this movie a a young hippie woman and just love it . it capture the time of 1973 perfectly . the subject matter and young love and family and illness and free spirit be right on . the photography be beautiful as well a the john denver music and which be at the height of his popularity . i felt the lead character to be very brave . i now have a stepdaughter the same age i be when i first saw this movie and i only wish she could view it too . who say great movie be not write for television .
