Eddie Harrison

...lives up to a reputation as a cult classic that offers something unique and engrossing...

All the kids in the squat - literally branded with the initials TR (for 'The Rejected') - come from broken homes, and are forming their own unruly family together on the edge not just of town but of all their decade's ideological bromides.

Battleship Pretension

David Bax

Spheeris' empathy and lack of judgment allow her to conform to the pace of the world she's entered, as opposed to trying to corral it into her own.

Suburbia is for the most part wretchedly acted and broadly scripted, but it has a raw vibe that can't be denied.

It still shows enormous empathy and sensitivity in capturing the angst and alienation of American youth, making it seem both rooted in a specific time and place and strangely timeless.
