Review of Reality Bites (1994) by Owen Gleiberman for Entertainment Weekly — 02 Mar 2005
Ryder, good as she was in The Age of Innocence, gives her first true star performance here. Beneath her crisp, postfeminist manner, Lelaina is bristling with confusion, and Ryder lets you read every crosscurrent of temptation and anxiety, the way her tentative search for love slowly grows into a restless hunger.
Yearning, hilarious, lost within their precocious self-awareness, these slackers have soul.
