“The most controversial film of the decade.”
DramaCrime
A day in the life of a group of teens as they travel around New York City skating, drinking, smoking and deflowering virgins.
VIBE
This film feels like a raw, unvarnished plunge into a world of youthful recklessness and consequence. It's an unsettling, gritty, and provocative experience, capturing a sense of urban alienation with a propulsive, almost documentary-like energy. The mood is often nihilistic, exploring a dark side of coming-of-age.
