Review of The Basketball Diaries (1995) by Jem S — 04 Oct 2012
Leonardo DiCaprio shows a raw and powerful performance in this film. The film itself is extremely dark, I don't think there was a single happy moment in the whole movie, but I guess that's the point of the film.
There's some interesting themes discussed in this film, some described better than others. Feels like the down-elevator of sadness, but the lead plays truthfully.
