Wow... this is a weird movie. It deals with a drug addicted society in an idyllic American suburbia. The film focuses on Dean and his struggles in a world where no one seems to care. Literally. All of the adults in the movie neglect the children as they are too obsessed with their own world and greed.
I had no clue what was going to happen in this movie, and many times I was shocked in what the movie did or didn't do. The movie feels like the kind of movie that shows the events which lead to a school shooting, but (thankfully) nothing of the sort happens.
This is a very "indie" type movie with a terrific cast, and I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it before now. It's like "Little Miss Sunshine" meets "Requiem for a Dream" meets "Hostage" meets "Donnie Darko". This is much more then your average "teen-angst" movie, and if you're ready for something new and different I recommend this highly surreal movie. 7 (or 6) out of 10
