Ellis has made his name showing us the wasteful lives of the "haves" in this world, but the other adaptations are way better than this one. It's just a bunch of assholes, except Sossamon of course.

Took quite a few views of this to appreciate it but yeah it is a decent show. I think the point is that its not always easy to make a connection with others. Or maybe the only good thing about it Patrick Bateman's brother is in it. Skip this if unsure.

nigger, please...

Humanity with the gloves off.

Never judge a book by its cover, or a film by its marketing. This has a lot of "New Wave" characteristics, from its youthful sensibilities to all the audacious editing tricks, which are numerous and impressive. Avary doesn't call attention to artificial aesthetics though, making stylistic choices which only enhance this film's considerable emotional resonance. For all its comedy this is still tough to watch, unbridled in its depiction of those trying to find themselves at the expense of others.

Wild watch, but ironically I feel a bit apathetic about the whole deal. Maybe that was the intention. Even so, not the way to make a memorable worthwhile movie.

funny.

Good take on high school dramas, quirky enough to be engaging, good dialogue.

I have seen this movie countless times. For me it is the ultimate cult movie. I agree that it is not very good, but I love it all the same. Youthful existentialism looses some of its charm as I get older, but damn do I feel like coming home every time I watch it.

Jesus Christ read the book.

Badly drawn characters, a HORRIBLY trite soundtrack (the suicide scene - really?!), and unbelievable acting on Van Der Beek's part are just a few of the things I didn't like about this movie. Never in my life have I wanted to call a movie "vapid and limp" but I guess things change.
