One Summer Love (1976)

Beau Bridges has recently been released from a mental hospital. He meets Susan Sarandon working at a movie theater and with her help, tracks down his family and some answers to his mental issues. Bridges does a fairly good job portraying someone whose development has been stilted from years living in an institution but the rest of the film is somewhat of a mess. He spends most of his time bouncing off the actions of those around him who honestly aren’t any more mentally with it than he is. I prefer the original title of Dragonfly as it actually relates to Bridges’s experiences instead of trying to make it some grand love story.
