Rather Worthless
Look, I'm not from any big city. My home town has its share of problems but I'm sure that where I grew up isn't really a glimmer of inner city life. Watching this movie was truly disturbing, but I tried to get passed that to see what the point was because I dont want to be one of those people who judge from the outside of a work to ignore the core. Despite this I found absolutely no use in the making of this movie. I've already seen people living this lifestyle, and I dont think there needed to be a movie about it. There is almost no humanization to the characters except Miss. Sevigny. The film is completely aimless and borderlines on pornography. I dont think that shocking and disturbing us is the way to get us to change things in the lives of youth. Fear is the only thing we create, because most of us are just as ignorant as the youths depicted in this film. I will say that the film hit close to home to my high school days, even if it was a bit more severe. Thats precisely why I gave mercy with two stars. But overall I think the end result in the production of this film is this. We have given something to the parents out there to become even more paranoid and blind, and we've given legal material to all the pedophiles to "entertain" temselves with. If you catch my drift.
