    The production designer on this movie should be given a medal. Each new bedroom made my jaw drop a little bit further. Love the pansexual apocalypse.

    i thoroughly enjoyed this movie for its aesthetics and story and the message it tries to send but at the same time i think i have the ability to critique that at some times it’s attempt to push the envelope to send a message ends up just being more reactionary than actually (1/2)

    “I’m outta here” lmao The production is just 👌I loved all the unique colors. I feel like I’m watching an alternative reality, what a fever dream. So horny and gay I love it Wish people talked like this more 🍆 7.5/10

    Nowhere

    i stopped watching after the rape scene, i know there’s a deeper meaning to the movie but the oversexualization of the film (yes the whole point) wasn’t worth watching for me

    this movie is disturbingly beautiful. i’m from nowhere in wisconsin and for the 82 minutes of this movie i felt like an angst ridden teenager on the streets of LA in the 90s.

    i love gregg araki so much, and this is a phenomenal piece of his work. with sooo many celebrity cameos and such a 90s LA shoegaze vibe, this movie is a favorite of mine

    My favorite Gregg Araki film and an all-time favorite movie. Nothing out there is like this film; it’s totally unique.

    I liked it a lot. The movie was a little uncomfortable at times, but the imagery and nihilism really spoke to ms.

    This is definitely more “david lynch” than Araki’s other movies Araki really likes aliens I guess

Director and enfant terrible-wannabe Gregg Araki winds up his Teen Apocalypse trilogy with this loud, ridiculous mess, and not a moment too soon.

TV Guide Magazine

A vibrantly colorful, wildly nihilistic and lovingly perverse poem to America's beautiful, libidinous and doomed youth. Though not his best, Araki's sixth feature is without a doubt his most accessible, sensual and superficially entertaining movie to date.
