    You get the full tidal wave of artistry and why it was so era-defining. “1971” wants to paint a picture of the full moment, and by doing so, it doesn’t quite give you that intimacy. Even so, “1971” is still well worth the price of admission.

    There is nothing in music that 1971 has not touched. Essential viewing.

    Archival footage is the hero here, everything from tear gas canisters arcing into the students at Kent State and those lying bleeding after the National Guard shootings, to a raw live performance of “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills & Nash that leaps off the screen with nervy energy. Audio interviews accompany the montages, and are lent particular power in their juxtaposition.
