A dark, strange, disturbing film about the lost children of our generation -- kids raising themselves, howling on the margins
of nihilism and nonentity because they've been abandoned, emotionally or physically, by parents who could never themselves
grow up. Harrowing as it is, though, with its images of adolescent and pre-adolescent violence and obscenity, the film offers
a kind of transcendence -- as it observes the glimmers of lyricism and hope that its young protagonists hold onto in spite
of everything. It is, ultimately, very moving -- though not for the faint of heart.
