Description:
A flawless ensemble cast brings to life this powerful 1970s coming-of-age drama, war chronicle and unconventional love story set in the shadow of Kent State's turbulent events. Written and directed by Jay Craven and based on the novel by Scott Lax, this 'intimate, subtly riveting, and richly reminiscent' (Portland Press Herald) masterpiece follows a group of young people caught up in events that will transform their lives in ways they cannot imagine. Punctuated by authentic period footage, a soundtrack that includes 17 songs from the era, 'lush cinematography and stellar performances' (Cleveland Plain Dealer), The Year That Trembled is a haunting portrait of a time when passions ignited a nation and choices became a matter of life and death.

Rating:  - I have been thinking
A very well made independant film!!!!! And two of my favourite subjects rolled into one: Vietnam and Jonathan Brandis!!! Well done!!! I phrase Jonathan Brandis' performance. he was really good. I wish he had been given the oppotunity to take his career forward. I have for the past few months been thinking about Jonathan Brandis and his tragic death. I received news of his death on my birthday. 'What a way to turn 20? finding out that my teen idol who I admired both as a crush, role model and older ... Read More
Rating:  - Uneven but worthwhile
Films about the 1960s are always difficult -- some go no deeper than the familiar media images, others fail to capture the tone of that unique time. This one does something a little different by looking at the end of the 1960s, following the lives of several high school graduates sharing a house near Kent State after the 1970 shootings. They represent a cross-section of young America at the time, with the late Jonathan Brandis our point-of-view character, aspiring writer Casey Pederson: politically ... Read More
Rating: - Would recommend to fans of independent film
Not a big fancy film, but very good for a small independent film. The cast as a whole gave a great performance; Jon Brandis, in one of his last projects, was excellent. I wish this film had been given the wider theatrical release it deserved.
Rating:  - Made me a tad Weepy!
I've been a Jonathan Brandis fan since the days his face adorned the cover of BOP and Tiger Beat magazines. I followed his career with glee and taped every episode of SeaQuest in order to see his baby blues peeking at me from the depts of my tv. And when I found out that he had ended his life I was both heart-broken and outraged.
So when I happened across this movie, I jumped at the chance to buy one of the last films he appeared in. And I wasn't disappointed in the least. I enjoyed ... Read More
Rating: - Part of me, part of the USA, part of all of us
I was an extra in this movie and I must say the end product does not do justice to the experience. Being just down the road from the site of the Kent State shootings, I don't think it is possible to portray the reality of the feelings of that era on a television screen. The actors were wonderful to work with and my pride for them blends over into my viewing of their performances. My favorite, by far, is Jonathan Woodward who played "Charlie", the ill-fated all-American young man who accurately represents ... Read More
