Love Is a Carousel (1970)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Doria leaves home after being raped and deflowered by her stepmother's boyfriend while her stepmother drunkenly watched. She is picked up on the highway by Jackie, a lesbian whose tenderness contrasts with Doria's recent experience. Doria then meets two artists, Tee Jay and Julio, who use her as their model and introduce her to a bohemian life of parties and such drugs as marijuana and LSD.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
