Review of Reality Bites (1994) by Matt C — 15 Aug 2014

A movie I have seen several times over the years, including when it first came out at the cinema.

While it's not perfect, and not an absolute favourite, I do enjoy it. Particularly Winona Ryder and Janeane Garofolo. Vicky, in particular was a very good character. I love her look and quirky personality.

I do find Ethan Hawke's Troy an absolute twat, and that has only increased over the years. I can't believe he's the supposed hot guy you are meant to feel for. A womanising, chain smoking slacker. Mmm. Does it for me.

Ben Stiller's character is a bit too yuppie to really cheer on, but he's preferable to Troy.

Quite nostalgic 90's viewing and some good music on the soundtrack including Juliana Hatfield.
