The usual Araki elements are here (hustlers, rebels, uproar, the absurd), but now he appears to be working with focus and compassion.

Like most good films, this one demands something from you, not just you from it. Some may run for cover, or for the exit, but those who stick around this strange and rich film will be sent out floating.

treads harrowing ground without falling into the pit of cliché
March 07, 2014

This is a challenging and ultimately moving film that deserves to find a like-minded audience.

Araki's best film in a long time.
Empire Magazine Australasia
November 07, 2012

The audience has gotten the point roughly 90 minutes before the characters do.

a bizarre, beguiling coming-of-age drama
Philadelphia Inquirer

Manages to deal with its raw, awful subject matter in ways that are both challenging and illuminating.
Miami Herald

Gone is the gloomy nihilism of The Doom Generation and The Living End, replaced by a melancholy, but hopeful, affection toward people with the capacity to overcome tremendous psychological trauma.
