|---|---|---|---|
|
Pitt's tendency to turn into a space cadet without a well-defined archetype to play slows the movie's pacing to a crawl Full Review |
|||
|
A bizarre, idiosyncratic fable that combines Jarmusch's minimalist style (DiCillo was Jarmusch's lender), David Lynch's Erasrerhead-like James Dean anti-hero (well-played by the young Brad Pitt), and stylistic elements of German Expressionism Full Review |

Super odd indie flick with the worst movie hairdo ever, until Bill Murray did Kingpin.

Nice try, good style, but very boring.
