That's what my friend was expecting the movie to be about. So was I, actually.

But I saw it today... WOW. Pretty good. Really good use of irony; and a lot of it subtle, too. They left a lot of it undiscussed and almost neglected, so that later on, when you're thinking about it for hours and days after you've seen the film, you notice more and more details. If you've seen it, you know what I mean.

I agree, Matt Dillon was amazing. I hope he gets the credit he deserves for this.

The aftertaste of the movie is really interesting. It had a weird effect on me. Not that it depressed me, exactly. It's something else, I don't know how to explain it.
