Very aesthetically pleasing. A much darker plot than expected.
Very deep, thought provoking film. Captures two characters perfectly and plays out in a bittersweet, but satisfying way
Feels like the death of the American Dream and the true birth of New Hollywood. Voight and Hoffman are both astonishing here.
Really dark story with good acting. Not particularly rewatchable because of the subject matter.
Jon Voigt gives one of the great screen performances in this meditation on loneliness and isolation.
Tragic, raw, grungy, psychedelic. Time capsule of an era and a truly beautiful film.
Angelina Jolie’s dad is like a sex worker cowboy guy, and his best friend is rain man.
really beautiful visuals, a story of loneliness and poverty
This one is so heartbreaking for me that I find it painful to think about it. Great performances, memorable soundtrack
This movie inspired the creation of a Muppet. 5 stars.
