Review of Totally F***ed Up (1994) by Fernando F. Croce for Slant Magazine — 29 Oct 2011
The total lack of pity and condescension carries the film over its rough spots and aimless patches. The endings of the director’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy (of which Totally F***ed Up is the first part) may seem utterly desolating, yet they all move toward a rejection of negativism in favor of the harsh but inescapable complexities of the world.
Life is f***ked up, Araki is saying, but it is worth living.
