Review of Same Time, Next Year (1978) by Randy S — 11 Sep 2011

Okay, despite the mediocre reviews, I thoroughly enjoyed the picture. Some viewers have difficulty setting aside the plot device of the adulterous affair, but what I saw was a story of two people who genuinely liked each other and then grew an inseparable love over the course of a generation together.

The dialogue is moving, the drama gripping, and the character growth compelling. There's plenty of humor mixed in, as well, which for me adds up to an extremely satisfying exploration into the joys, the sadness, and the ultimate point of letting our guard down and genuinely relating.
