G E @G.Elle Dec 27 The themes explored are brilliantly set up and shown throughout. Shame it wasn't fully understood and many critics totally missed the point of the film which is amongst other thing a shot at hypocrisy, suburbia and the ignorance of community to portray a false "perfect" image. Absolutely ahead of it's time. Discovered this film when searching through the DVD section at my towns thrift store. I had never heard of it nor knew what the themes were beforehand. I was pleasently surprised as it made a lasting impression on me, coming from a small town where people would much rather ignore controversy and look the other way than face the truth, leading to bigger problems. Thank you for this film, will definitely keep it See more Michael C @Crowley Jun 16 To this day, I still don't know what this movie is. All I know is it leaves a lasting impression. I can't say whether it's good or not. My rating is based purely on the fact that in my 30 years of life I've only seen two movies that took my on a complete and total ride I couldn't prepare for. The other is the book of Henry for those interested. All I know is this movie is distinctly different from anything I've ever watched and it's earned my praise for its absurdity.

Really leans in to the cheap almost Disney-fied facade of that outer-Los Angeles suburban life. Such a satisfying ending too. Even bought it on DVD!

The movie is definitely a slow build, sometimes adding characters before telling you their significance. The teens' reliance (in different ways) on prescription pills and their parents obliviousness, feels very accurate as someone who spectated on middle class dynamics, in my own youth. Dean (Bell) is believable as the over medicated loner, and the scene where he finally approaches Troy's mother (Close) is heart wrenching. Definitely give this a watch if you have the patience to let it all play out. See more Doubleboy T @Kalax 08/30/2024 Great movie. Alot of life lessons in it. So many unique and different things happening at once. Good characters. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. 01/09/2024 Tedious, just tedious. Poor character development and numerous scenes are just simplistic and nonsensical. Wanted to like it, but realized the whole plot was on idle. See more Read all reviews
