5.0 out of 5 stars tender and brilliant observation of first love, February 13, 2005

I watched this movie as a kid when it came out and I've probably seen it about a dozen times. But it still manages to hit me in the heart.
Great acting and great camera work (using mostly available light) make you enter the hearts of the characters. "A film with nothing going for it but the people who love it" says the original trailer from 1973 - and that's true. It's a very simple film but in its simplicity so tender and close that you will never forget the story. It's all about love. It doesn't matter that the material is grainy and some scenes slightly out of focus. It makes you be there with the characters and invites you to take part in their story. No wonder it was the public's choice at the Cannes Film Festival of that year. A keeper!

I remember watching this movie with my first girlfriend and being embarassed to cry. Now 25 years later by the magic of VCR's and the internet I can watch it over and over. Just had my 11 year old daughter watch it for the 1st time. A very real love story with the atmosphere of the 70's. Any teenager that was ever in love should watch this movie. So simple, yet so perfect. Some movies just seem to stay in your memory. This is one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jeremy rocks...and so do I!!!!, January 3, 2004

Well, I am 18 years old, and I was named after this awesome movie. It's such a simple, wonderful story. I actually have an original poster from the movie. On it is the wonderful quote: "A film that has nothing going for it but the people who love it," and that's exactly what it is. Those who don't enjoy Jeremy simply can't get past the fact that is very dated. If you are a Robby Benson fan, watch American Dreams on Sundays (though he doesn't play a very nice character). If you're a fan of both Robby and Glynnis O'Connor, there is a 1977 version of Thornton Wilder's Our Town where they play the leads (Emily and George). I highly recommend this. Though this version of Our Town is very hard to come by, it can be bought on Amazon at the rental market price ($75). Otherwise, some public libraries and universities sometimes will have a copy.
