★★★☆☆
I really enjoyed the core story in 1970 but I think it might be more effective without the meta/memory framing (instead folding those ideas and the Joanne character into more satisfying endings for Margie, Isidora, & Lizzie)
Edit from the future: In retrospect, while I didn’t mind the inclusion of the nude scene, I do think that the duration and degree of exposure was probably gratuitous
