Cody G. @frodycody Jan 21 For me, this is a perfect film. It’s weird but uncannily human, funny but horrific, absurd but lucid. See more Justin W. @JustMeInTheRipCity Nov 18 All-time favorite. Harmony Korine delivers once again. Absolutely absurdly delicious and that kind of film you cannot turn off, even if you wanted to; and at times you will... Enjoy! See more Brian S @RT34321100 Sep 27 A nightmare documentary disguised as art, scavenged from broken homes and restless towns, daring you to keep watching when you want to look away. See more Clinton L @RT40374361 Aug 11 People who say this movie relies simply on shock value obviously have led sheltered lives and don't think this is an honest depiction of what life was like for poor white youths in the 90s, which is exactly what it is. I remember seeing the cover for this and just never got around to watching it until now in 2025 at 46 years old. I would've loved this movie back then. I'm only a third of the way through it and almost wanna stop watching it just because it is very depressing to see. Very well done though. See more Lauren F @RT79021750 03/20/2025 This movie relies on shock value to try and be artistic and it falls so flat. If you like cats at all, it's a very hard watch. They don't just show you shocking images, they beat you over the head with them. They show the same kind of thing so many times that it loses its shock value after a while so it defeats the point, and no longer adds anything to the film. The lack of plot isn't really what bothers me, it's the lack of substance. It felt like a huge waste of time when it was over. The movie is boring and moves at a very slow pace with no payoff. Images or clips that have nothing do with anything are shown on the screen between scenes simply because they are edgy or weird. It's like a failed project for a film studies student. See more Travis F @RT50113818 02/06/2025 This movie is the epitome of D theater, no plot, no point, no cinematic substance, and honestly no critical thinking skills necessary to watch it. If the cast isn't going around killing cats they are paying some kid to pimp out his mentally handicapped sister or rooting around in garbage. The whole movie feels like someone's bad acid trip through backwoods Alabama at 3am despite being based in Ohio. Giving this film anything over half a star is being very generous at best, if you're a masochist for really bad movies this is your film otherwise I highly recommend watching something else.
