Susan S. was excellent, Jeff G. was good as usual, the movie was not. I was left with a sense of wondering what this movie was about, but then, not all movies speak to everyone. This one mumbled all the way. The focus did not succeed as a high school dropout coming of age as a young man on his own.

A dark, eccentric, wonderful movie. It really shows Susan's range as an actress, and younger Culkin brother steps up to the challenge beautifully. Highly recommended!
