Wonderful. Based on one of the best and most influential modern short fiction collections in American English. For writing, it's hard to beat Denis Johnson. What a cast! Heart rending performances. Johnson even makes a cameo as the guy with the knife in his eye. Good luck finding it. I couldn't get it on any legal streaming service, so I had to order a physical copy from a Good Will in Minnesota.

The film doesn't quite do justice to Johnson's short stories.
