Critic Reviews for The Marijuana Conspiracy

All Critics (20) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (10)

Hippie-swooning temptations aside, I remained tethered to The Marijuana Conspiracy thanks to the excellent performances by the actresses playing the main roles.

"The Marijuana Conspiracy" is worse than inert: It's shallow and tone-deaf.

New York Times
A mildly buzzy hybrid that swings from serious to light and back again.

Variety
Definitely an interesting subject, but the dialogue was schlocky and mawkish.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
It's a very interesting subject for a movie. I'm just not sure it comes across as anything more than that, mainly because it's a little too freeform and doesn't get under the skin of who these women really are.

Peter Rainer
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
The film itself is only mildly interesting; however, as a history lesson about how mores have changed in the past 50 years and yet have not changed at all, it's worth watching...

Malibu Times
The attention to early seventies detail is terrific, music, set direction, wardrobe, and lexicon.

What She Said
It's Hallmark meets ABC Afterschool Special, which is a shame, given the fascinating real-life basis for the story and the good performances by Julia Sarah Stone and Tymika Tafari.

Leslie Combemale
AWFJ Women on Film
The Marijuana Conspiracy mixes and matches docu-drama with humour and even a taste a of horror to tell an interesting story of ulterior motives, exploitation and regulation all bound together with empathy and just a bit of intrigue.

Perhaps controlled substances would enhance appreciation of this historical drama, which is too trite and unfocused from a clear-eyed perspective.

Cinemalogue
Craig Pryce is the producer-director-writer behind this half-a-century-later look at what might have been more biting film if not so poorly handled.

Elias Savada
Film International
Of all the ways the folks north of the border could have approached the story of a 1970s marijuana-use-and-its-consequences study, why'd they take the "Lifetime Original Movie" tack?
