How old are you? I don't know how well it translates to modern day, but back then it really did encapsulate what it felt like to be the age of the characters in that time period. Its a classic.
(and much less bleak than River’s Edge)
I just watched it for the first time last year, it had been one of those "always on the list" but just never happened.
It translates well and was insightful for me. I was shocked by the dialogue in a good way; remembering how much people used to be able to communicate with each other, handle complex emotions without shutting down forever, recover, and grow stronger. In 2025 where people barely talk about real things to their friends and family in the US let alone strangers, it is such a stark reminder of what has been lost to cable TV and cell phones in the intervening decades since the movie came out. Not that everyone used to talk like that on a everyday basis but if you put out a movie like that now many people wouldn't even watch it, or be able to process it.
