Not to be confused with the made-for-TV horror film She Waits, the equally TV-bound She Lives is (to some) a horror of a different sort. Desi Arnaz Jr. is Andy Reed, a college student who falls in love with coed Pam Rainey (Season Hubley). She learns that she has a fatal illness. They stay together in spite of the doom clouds hanging overhead. The one saving grace: Season Hubley's character fights tooth and nail against dying a quiet death, as opposed to Ali MacGraw's graceful succumbing to the inevitable. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A drug addict seduces his lover into sharing his chemical joys and together they begin a wrenching downward spiral into destruction in this unflinching, well-wrought drama.

This film is based on the James Simon Kunen book about student unrest on the Columbia University campus. Simon (Bruce Davison) joins the campus protest movement to socialize with the various hippie girls. When a violent police assault breaks up the protest, Simon's thoughts quickly turn from female infatuation to more important social causes. He becomes active in protests against the Vietnam War, police brutality, student's rights and the draft. He is branded a Communist and becomes part of the great worldwide social revolution of his times. Music from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Thunderclap Newman, Richard Strauss and John Lennon accurately reflect the turbulent times in which the film was released. Bud Cort, James Coco, and Kim Darby star in this uneven political drama. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
