Concept is interesting but, doesn't amount to much...
It seems that Korine has just decided to make his script as controversial as possible so that it would at least allow him some publicity for a film that probably would have otherwise sunk without trace. Being a small independent movie, it suffers the effects of such a budget; bad sound, camerawork and even actors (apart from Sevigny). Unlike many other films that are similar in content and subject matter, Clark's direction doesn't raise it above standards. Boys Don't Cry is a classic example of an 'indie' film that has risen above prejudices concerning independent films due to Peirce's sharp direction and haunting photography.
