Synopsis The film explores the year 1975 through the lens of American arts and culture.

Reception 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.
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.
