08/11/2022 Young Sophia Mitri Schloss (Lane) carries this lyrical and bittersweet exploration of growing up on a hippie commune in the 70s. The film feels like a cinema verite fairytale, beautifully shot and acted, never heavy-handed. The last scene is one of my favorite endings in a film. See more 12/06/2018 This movie has absolutely no substance...at all! The actors were fine but really, the writer, director and producer have clearly surrounded themselves with people who aren't telling them the truth about their writing, directing or the stories that need to be produced. This shouldn't be called a story, we have no idea why, who, where.... all of the most important things when telling a story. The filming was beautiful and the casting was good but all of it were completely wasted on this story. We turned it off halfway and it was on Hulu for free.

"Lane 194" is an atmospheric coming of age / drama: 80 minutes of nice, but also very forgettable film. See more 11/22/2017 Stunning scenery and cinematography pair with a moving script in this bittersweet coming of age movie. Truly fantastic! See more 11/06/2017 The world of hippies and communes is supposed to be peace, love, and happiness. Sometimes, however, there's an ugly side, and Lane 1974 explores one young girl's experience. See more 10/09/2017 The cinematography was stunning in its portrayal of Norcal without being excessively indulgent. Kudos to the editor. The soundtrack and sound design... Wow. Seriously, powerful sense memories of what it's like to clomp around a hippie bus. The acting by the kids was pitch perfect. The only movie I can ground it to is Mac, by John Tutturo. Lane is a really gentle (if that's the right word) personal portrayal of a child's view of a certain time and place. Admittedly a lot less Felliniesque than Mac, and far more grounded in the real, but it has the same sense of "This is a true story. This happened." The drama is relatively understated but real and for that, all the more powerful. See more Read all reviews
