Season of Dreams (1987)
Director: Martin Rosen
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Director Rosen made animated features in Britain (Watership Down and The Plague Dogs) before moving to the US for this unenlightening rites-of-passage tale set in 1954 Montana. Megan Follows is the teenager trying to hold off the romantic advances of older youth Gedrick while rebuilding her own relationship with hard-pressed waitress mum Lahti, left to cope on her own when her husband is hospitalised. A solid cast make it all easily watchable, but there's not quite enough in the material to make it really distinctive (the similar Desert Bloom, for instance, has an A-bomb angle that gives its story a significant lift).Author: TJ
