this movie went hard when i was misdiagnosed with narcolepsy
I made my senior quote the closing line of this movie. It impacted me so much, River and Keanu are special together. A movie about the road
What a subdued patch of strangeness. Next time he falls asleep, let's nationalize his so-called private Idaho
Great name for a film , superb performances, original and a must see - one of River Phoenix finest performances….
River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves in their primes.
A suprising shift from Bill and Ted for Keanu to take serious dramatic roles. The Movie itself is interesting, dramatic, and deep.
Casting is perfect, it really adds to the already-amazing and unique storyline. The storyline of the movie is truly unlike anything else.
Heartbreaking and unique in its rawness. Compelling acting in general, and Phoenix & Reeves are simply perfect in their roles.
Good movie about male prostitutes, the Shakespeare stuff is a bit iffy but doesn’t take away from the experience
Highly underrated movie. Original premise and excellent performances by Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix. Highly recommend
