Movie Reviews

The Seattle Times - 6/10 by John HartlThe script’s first half is vigorous enough.... But the movie needs the audacity of a “Trainspotting” to lift it above the norm.
Huffington Post - 5/10 by Jeffrey LyonsAn edgy drama and an effective cautionary tale well worth seeing.
Arizona Republic - 5/10 by Randy CordovaUltimately, the film is never boring, but it's never involving, either. At the end, what you're left with is a modestly entertaining film that doesn't seem to have an original thought in its head. In that way, it's a lot like the characters it spotlights.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Noel MurrayWhile the film is well-acted and appealingly slick, the end result lacks novelty.
New York Post - 4/10 by Kyle SmithToby is so un-self-aware that his journey seems like mere obtuseness; what the film has to say about youthful degeneracy is less than zero.
Film Journal International - 4/10 by David Noh[A] shallow and profoundly unexciting "true-life account" of one student's brief reign as a campus drug lord.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Helen T. VerongosThis film fails even to evoke the ’80s in costumes, soundtrack or other atmospherics.
Village Voice - 3/10 by Abby GarnettToby's eventual comeuppance feels as preordained and empty as the preppie/townie dichotomy regurgitated here from so many outdated teen-media artifacts.
User Review - 10/10 by Hope SI got to see this film at the Hamptons International Film Festival. So so GOOD! Brilliant direction, stunning cast. Can't wait to see it again! Definitely a must see.
User Review - 10/10 by Josh EFeel like you missed the 1980s? Look no further. This thrilling ride takes you back to a drug fueled era and the wreckage left in its wake. A beautiful meditation on class in America through the lens of prep school adolescents, only made better by Joe Costelo's deft hand - reminds one of the best of the French New Wave. Powerful performances make this a must see.
