Review of The Basketball Diaries (1995) by Adesh P — 19 Jul 2009
The film is preachy and its efforts laborious. It was as if funded by a group of paranoid parents teachers association. The makers seem more misguided than these boys. It wants to be more sensational than heartfelt.
And that poetry after every once in a while just got into my nerves.
