"I saw this film in Berlin a few years ago and was moved by it's callow yet intense perspective of teenage angst. Coming of age, it is - or isn't. Disturbing, yet subtle. Performances were right on. The bully was the quintessential. Intense, brooding, a suburban star. Some of the dialogue was underwritten and trite. Buckley is a genius and it's a hidden jewel that he scored a film. Where are the actors now? Where is Sullivan?"
Jeff Buckley wrote and recorded the music for this film!!!!!

"Jeff Buckley wrote and recorded the music to this intense film. It's a great find for Buckley fans, because it's never been availible for sale until now. The movie is cool, its very real life...and ultimatly death."
Just wondering

"I saw this movie when it was at the Toronto Film Festival many years ago. It was an excellent depiction of what teens go through and how they are so affected by peer pressure. Michael Albanese did an amazing job as the popular leader of his peers. John Sullivan, the director, shot it in a way that made you feel you were actually a teenager again. I recommend this film with a big thumbs up!"
Aye...but what about the movie?

"I can understand being a big Jeff Buckley fan, but I'm astounded to find that every review of this film focuses solely on his music...and not, as reviews should, on the film as a whole. I think that we should all be thankful that this film is now being released on DVD. Up until now, it's been nigh-unto-impossible to acquire, or even SEE. I was lucky enough to catch it on either the Sundance Channel or the Independent Film Channel (IFC), no doubt at about four or five in the morning, back in 1998. Back when I had Sundance and IFC, I would check them regularly for fresh independent films, particularly at ungodly hours of the morning, when they seemed to showcase some of their best movies. I caught this film from the very beginning and was completely captivated until the final scene. This is one of those movies that doesn't feel like a movie. It feels a lot like life, especially if you're young and know what it was like to be a teenager in the '90s. This film works wonders with its low budget and speaks volumes more than the inferior Teen Angst flicks that Hollywood studios, with all of their millions, churn out in droves. Sure, there were some things in the film that I couldn't relate to personally. But if you were a high school student in the 1990s, there are many elements in this film that you can't help but relate to. I saw a lot of myself in these characters...for better or worse."
