 Understated and overwhelming April 8, 2009
Vincent R. Corvaia (Maine, United States)
I accidentally broke my glasses in 1973 and had to go two weeks without them. During that time, my sister urged me to see "Jeremy" right away. Despite the fact that Benson and O'Connor looked like fog banks to me, I was totally absorbed in the story, the acting (what I could see of it), and the music. By the closing credits, I was crying. It was that moving. I've since seen it with glasses on and it's just as affecting as it was in 1973. Highest recommendation for folks who like being overwhelmed by an understated teen love story. SPOILER ALERT: Warning for parents -- There is a tasteful sex scene near the end that might upset you if you have small children watching.

 A Sweet Early Robby Benson March 18, 2007
J. Sterns (Grand Island, NE)
This is a very nice early RobbyBenson movie. Reminds one of their first love, maybe for all nerds. A must have for Benson collections.
A Good starter for Robby! January 4, 2007
The Night Falcon
This was not one of the more best made films Benson did, but given his age, it was a good starter for him when you look at his career. I was as awkward as Jeremy at the age Benson played the role and was more Jeremy when going through my early teens; which is why I loved the movie. I knew allot of "nerdy" wiz kid (brainy) guys and gals who were no different, which is what makes the film worth having in my library. One of the hardest things for a soul, in my view, who is born into this state; is to work out his or her heart issues with most things intellectually coming easy as they grow and learn, but the matters of the heart coming not so easily.
Benson's approach to the subject as a flegling actor is brilliantly played in my view and experience with this mind set. In fact, I think you see more of him, as he really was as a young man in this role; given his own sweet, sensitive nature, which was no acting job as you watched him in all his films. Naturally, if you come from a different background growing up, you can't appreciate his characterization; but I can! The cinematography of this film is not the best by today's standards, but its a lovely story and a treasure to have of Benson's early works that lead him to stardom during the 1970's, which was my time to be a teenager.
Thanks for making this available on Amazon.
The DVD case and slip cover came in great condition. Delivery was excellent. No complaints. Wonderful to have it in my library!
PS: I gave this three stars, not to judge the story content, as I think the story is a five star rating given the subject matter. But given the cinematic quality, I've rated it with three stars.
 I Believed It November 14, 2006

I love the 70's for the incredible revolution in film realism. After a million Doris Day and Debbie Reynolds, 50's gee wiz, let's start a family boosterism, even the teen romance film took a turn to realism. I must admit that Robby Benson, from distant memory, brings to mind a monkish hairdo and a toothy grin, and the awkwardness of adolescence. In 1973's Jeremy, I was not disappointed, but actually delighted that the film essentially plays it straight with a couple of star-crossed teen lovebirds. Contrast Jeremy's sweet, first romance with teen films that came a decade later starting with Fast Times at Ridgeway High or Dazed and Confused. Can you see the sincerity of Jeremy's romance decline into teen cynicism? Then in the 90's you get films like She's All That where the main concern is bedding a virgin for a bet. No, I will take Jeremy any time.
Benson is derided as gawky, Jewish kitsch. I must say he did a fine job in this film. I believe in his first phone call to lovely Glynnis O'Conner and his heroic efforts to be with her always. She's a little older, more mature. She appreciates Benson's cello and the romance is on. Most of the film leads up to the romance, showing a New York, middle class, uptown life style of the 70's. No sooner than the bra strap pops does Glynnis' old man take her away. Then you get the farewell airport scene. A tear comes to the eye. It was kind of realistic and eternal.
