Movie Reviews

New York Times - 10/10 by Walter GoodmanThe implacable earnestness laid on by the script, which it took three people to put together, is not relieved by the nonstop songs, from rock-and-roll to Gilbert and Sullivan.
Time Out - 8/10 by Tom CharityA well-intentioned study of high-school kids coping (and not coping) with the pressures of adolescence, its naturalistic style only makes the more overt dramatic elements look forced and clichéd.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffPic is populated by profoundly unrewarding characters doing and saying utterly uninteresting things.
Washington Post - 4/10 by Hal HinsonGood intentions and seriousness aside, it's not much of anything -- not terrible, but not terribly engaging or illuminating either.
User Review - 10/10 by Sheryl MThis film is amazing! One of my all time favourites. Chokes me up everytime I watch this. Powerfull stuff!

User Review - 10/10 by Jennalynn *Powerfull movie about a group of friends who try to cope with the suicide of one of them.Anyone who says Keanu Reeves can't act should see this one!!
User Review - 10/10 by Brian PThe first movie I saw Keanu in. Great movie addressing suicide, as in keeping with context, a bit of a downer.
