Breakdown: 1975 is a 2025 documentary film exploring the year 1975 through the lens of American arts and culture, directed and produced by Morgan Neville.[1][2]

Reception

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 74% of 23 critics' reviews are positive.[3] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 49 out of 100, based on six critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[4]

Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Breakdown: 1975 is packed with great clips and peppered with solid observations, but it's truly an odd documentary — one likely to be enticing for viewers with a casual interest in history or filmmaking, but infuriating for anybody craving even intermediate instruction."[1][excessive quote]
