From a narrative and directing standpoint this film rivals the best of documentary filmmaking. Except, its not a documentary. Its a disgusting cautionary tale of trash culture. Its an urban nightmare influenced by the AIDS epidemic. How in the hell did Larry Clark pull this off? How in the hell is he not in prison now? This is a brilliant and sick film.
****out of *****
p.s. the first time I saw this no one knew of Chloe Sevigny - but she is at the core of this film and carries most of its emotional weight
MODIFICATION - I thought about this some more and since the film is truly repellent I gotta knock off 1/2 star
