[My Psychedelic Love Story] is, in fact, a necessary correction of the hero worship that so often seeps into contemporary depictions of America's hippie movement.

A rip-roaring yarn about true love, high jinx and a hedonistic time when anything was possible.

Smith isn't the most reliable narrator, but she weaves a great yarn, one that suggests a jaw-dropping conspiracy, sprinkled with cameos from Francis Ford Coppola, Keith Richards and Andy Warhol. It's a trip.

The ideological questions asked are, of course, all-too relevant, but posteriorly lacking the moral shock of something like last year's Cold Case Hammarskjöld.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 31, 2020

Revelatory, subtly substantial and not without genuine moments of awe, it stands alongside R.J. Cutler's Belushi as another home run for the Showtime network.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 31, 2020

Charmingly off-the-rails...

She's very charismatic and it's fun to hang out with her for awhile, even if I'm not sure what the stories add up to.

| Dec 12, 2020

A pretty entertaining history of counterculture and espionage... It is intriguing and humorous, [although] sometimes a little too rambling.

| Dec 12, 2020

The main characters were so limited.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 6, 2020

Living, loving, and tripping with Timothy Leary. Disclaimer: I was watching this completely sober, probably against Leary's wishes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 3, 2020

Yes, this is all identikit material for Morris... But his latest work adds new wrinkles to our common idea of this era, especially to those who didn't live through it.

| Original Score: B | Dec 1, 2020

Timothy Leary may be the most famous figure here, but the film's most fascinating aspect is a woman near the end of her life boasting about lurid details of her salad days.

| Original Score: 3.25/5 | Dec 1, 2020

This is a wildly entertaining, if often incoherent, tale. Even when she is idiotic, amoral, or nearly indecipherable --which is pretty often -- Harcourt-Smith is a charming storyteller as she weaves the Leary story.

Engrossing.

| Nov 30, 2020

None of this is as interesting as the movie seems to think...

| Nov 30, 2020

Harcourt-Smith's narrative is at times a rambling one, with rehearsed flourishes that don't always land as they should.

| Nov 29, 2020

Breezy, playful, and kinetic, even as it delves into the Mephistophelean inner workings of the federal government under America's second most evil president.

| Nov 29, 2020

Missed that era? Have no fear: just sit back and let the vibe wash over you.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 29, 2020

There's enough material here to fill an entire multi-part docu-series, but My Psychedelic Love Story is an intriguing and often-humorous look at these crazy events, anchored by Harcourt-Smith's presence.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 27, 2020

[A] heady, fascinating movie...
