Point, Point, Comma...

About This Movie

So, 'Point, Point, Comma...' is this quirky little gem from 1972 that dives into the awkwardness of eighth grade. It captures that blend of innocence and budding romance, with a tone that’s both playful and a bit melancholic. The pacing feels very much like those old school, slice-of-life comedies, where every little moment breathes and carries a weight. It’s not flashy—no major effects or big stars—yet the performances are genuine, the kids really feel like kids. There's something distinctively nostalgic about its everyday settings, which grounds the experience. You can almost smell the crayons and faintly hear the school bell ringing, right? It’s that kind of film that sticks with you for its simplicity and charm.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors. It's mostly been available on VHS and a few DVD compilations, but finding a clean print is getting trickier. Interest has been growing in more niche 70s comedies lately, and 'Point, Point, Comma...' has started popping up in discussions among aficionados. If you come across a copy, it could be worth picking up for that nostalgic value and the unique slice of life it represents.
