Review of Reality Bites (1994) by Noel Murray for The A.V. Club — 08 Jul 2001
Reality Bites embodied seemingly every odious post-Nirvana media trend. The title alone was laughably faux-hip, and the movie's portrait of slackerdom—limply enacted by Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Steve Zahn, and Janeane Garofalo—was both broad and shallow.
..No one acknowledges the obvious—that a heinous idea got even worse when Stiller signed on to direct.
