    Successful on the whole, but sometimes it tries too hard

    The movie describes the lives of several college students, and deals with interracial and intersexual relationships. It is a sharp criticism of the hidden discrimination and racial hatred which remain despite the legal equality between the races and sexes. Although altogether successful, the movie tends to push its message to the viewer in a strong and rather harsh way, and this reduces its effectiveness.
