Milo J @RT57384297 Aug 2 The movie was good,but the aesthetic of the movie was AMAZING. Love the camera shots how aesthetically pleasing the movies felt. Besides the story itself,I would recommend this to someone who likes watching aesthetically,visual,striking movies.

I really liked the way it was filmed and how it captured the atmosphere of the 1990s. The videography, the clothes, the way everyone acted, and the overall vibe made the movie feel raw and real instead of like a typical scripted movie. The movie shows a group of teenagers basically doing whatever they want without much guidance or supervision. It deals with serious situations, including unsafe sex, diseases, drugs, and kids making choices without fully understanding the consequences. It is sad because they are still kids, and some are put in situations they are not mature enough to handle. I wouldn’t call this an educational movie, but it definitely makes you think. Overall, I really liked it because it felt real and didn’t try to make everything look glamorous or perfect. It is disturbing and uncomfortable at times, but that is also what makes it memorable.

It's a pretty good reflection of urban youth at any point in modern history, but outside of having concepts relavant to the time... the film never truly feels like the 1990s. It's a pretty pointless movie that's trying to teach you something, but the film is too distracting in its execution to do so. A lot of the scenes in this slop felt like they were there for the sole purpose of being edgy and controversial, and it does acheive this... but again... all of this negates any meaningful message the film was trying to convey. It's just a raunchy teen film that uses actual teens, and got away with it. See more Sam P @laniakea Mar 12 I didn't watch this until yesterday. I'd heard about it but never had a desire to watch it until I saw it suggested by Amazon and honestly it's like watching a train wreck. It's a film so busy patting itself on the back for being brave and transgressive that nobody stopped to ask whether it should have been made at all. If it was a fly on the wall documentary it would be insightful, but as fiction it's pointless and the wooden 'acting' makes it all very cringeworthy. Seems to have been trying really hard to be Warhol-esque but was 30 years too late. I wasn't shocked by any of it as I remember being young in the 80s and 90s. I was more shocked that it got mainstream distribution as it seems to be more interested in gratuitous lingering shots of pubescent bodies and sexuality than in saying anything meaningful or insightful.
