Review of SLC Punk (1998) by Eleonora S — 27 Feb 2018

Very enjoyable movie. An interesting and almost nostalgic look at the past when subcultures were at their peak, at a time when many young people were looking to find themselves.

Stevo and Bob's story is touching, because as much as they have a nihilistic view on life, they're still very much growing, searching and changing, despite the numerous parties and dangerous hijinks. The fact that Stevo is also a narrator to the audience is also a nice touch, almost like we're watching a student's documentary about life around him. And every character, no matter how stereotypical they may look, is given at least a little bit of depth.
