Larry Clarke examines the real life murder of a suburban bully by a group of teenagers.
Very often prurient in its examination rebellious and aimless teens. Riveting in its ultimate effect.
This movie will disturb you to no end. A great accomplishment -- albeit a controversial one.
Certainly there is a pornographic edge to the film and Clark's interest in teenage sexuality tilts toward the
prurient. Still, the movie is a challenging, uncompromising, look at a real life tragedy.
I was disturbed and intrigued enough to see it twice and now think that it stands as one of the better movies of 2001 -- not that I support Clark's worldview, of course.
