Review of Igby Goes Down (2002) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 21 Dec 2012
An inspired example of the story in which the adolescent hero discovers that the world sucks, people are phonies, and sex is a consolation. Because the genre is well established, what makes the movie fresh is smart writing, skewed characters, and the title performance by Kieran Culkin.
