Really decent, but I don't like dead babies
Favorite movie ever. Perfect mix of artistic cinematography, dialogue, characters, humor, and tragedy wrapped in a flawless soundtrack.10/10
One of those movies you wish you could watch again for the first time.
“Man, that movie really makes you want to try heroin!” -my father, a law-abiding Scot who never did hard drugs
Excellent adaption of an excellent book with a cast that’d go on to light up cinema for years after. This is must see stuff.
Absolutely watch this movie at least once in your life. It’s a must see.
Realize that some of us were alt teens in the 90s. That’s why we can’t find anything to watch. We were spoilt by this movie and it’s ilk.
Amazing directing and editing and soundtrack to make what could be such a miserable movie a must-watch. Choose life!
Trying to find my words almost will not do justice. This is my favorite movie. Sucked into the story immediately and wild cinematography
i love it, the ending had my blood PUMPING. worth a watch.
