This movie is genuinely amazing. i’ve never watched a movie that made me feel the way this movie has
One of the weirdest movies I've ever seen
The story and acting are phenomenal but it’s hard to recommend it to anyone because the material is pretty heavy and tough to watch at times
Pretty fucked up and sad. But a really well done movie to portray the subject
One of the best movies of all time. Beautifully filmed. Haunting story. Gregg Araki's best work.
Great cast. The plot and acting are phenomal, and I truly mean that. The soundtrack is also notable.
“I wished there was some way for us to go back and undo the past, but there wasn’t; there was nothing we could do”
Incredibly difficult watch, not something I’d recommend, but a harrowing and heartbreaking story of two teens coping with childhood abuse
Amazing performances all around, character study for 2 different characters who were equally tragic and fascinating to follow
We are given the life we have and sometimes our past holds the key to our future
