Review of Gummo (1997) by Leik H — 28 Jul 2013
Many people say if you didn't like it, you didn't get it. Actually I got it just fine, it has no plot, there is no connection to anything, there is no point. All it is, are a bunch of clips of white trash people doing weird or fucked up shit.
Like killing cats, shaving eye brows, kids banging a handicapped girl. I was looking for a plot or connection but I found none. I found myself more or less irritated. Harmony Korine did however, make a memborable movie, images did stay with me for awhile.
However, not in a good way, it's got a cult following, but only pretentious people enjoy this. They try to analyze it and think it's deeper than it is. I can assure you, it's not deep at all.
I can read it's one of the most disturbing movies ever. It's not disturbing, it's fucking weird, random and dark. I give Gummo a D+.
