Very good, a seminal early '70's auteur film filled with beautiful iconic Americana images and 4 restrained performances. The impressive James Taylor, handsome and charming Dennis Wilson, scruffy meets pretty hippy chick Laurie Bird, and finally, the only real thespian of the bunch, Warren Oates who grounds the other 3 and makes it all work. Harry Dean Stanton has a cameo and to the filmmaker's credit, there's blessedly no homophobia in his scene, very rare for a film of this era. The script is minimal and the action sometimes slows down but there's no denying this film's importance, stick with it and you'll be rewarded.
