Review of Gummo (1997) by Cody U — 10 Jan 2009
I didn't like it. This movie tries to be as good as Kids, but just falls short. It suffers from a lack of Larry Clark's involvement. In his hands, it may have been the cult hit that everyone that likes it wants it to be.
It strikes me as one of those movies that will fuel debates among intelligent movie geeks over whether or not it's a genius look at humanity or just a pretentious, lacking work of a directer that wishes he was something that he's not.
