I can’t stop thinking about this film and I’m going to rewatch it. The first 20-25 minutes are very good. The cinematography is brilliant at points and the chemistry between the four boys feels so natural ala Stand By Me.
I think about River’s Edge and it was so critically regarded because, amongst other things, it had a young Keanu, Ione Skye, Crispin Glover, and Dennis Hopper, four very unique voices and real actors. I just wish this film had that level of talent. It would’ve been exceptional.
Also, mad props to the soundtrack. No idea how they got the money for a few of the songs. I hadn’t heard Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in years.
