Review of SLC Punk (1998) by Lanyard980 — 08 Aug 2021
It's not very often that a film comes along and grabs you and takes you through that emotional roller coaster, and when your done...you look around and say hey fighting against the system is just as superficial as being passe about the life you live.
Lillard and Company nail the angle of the young teens in great angst and struggling to live the lives they want despite what others have planed for them. The director (who says that the inspiration for the movie comes from past stories) also besides approaching issues that allow the characters to have their own opinions he also allows them to grow-up as the film develops.
It ends in my opinion as a much finer coming-of-age movie than the top dollar movies like good will hunting. I don't feel that everyone will enjoy this movie as much as I did, but at the least you should laugh and cry with the characters.
