IT SUCKS COOOOOOOOOOOOOCK This fucking film. This film is the most perfect representation of a Bret Easton Ellis book, the style is uncanny. It is disjointed, it is meandering and there are no good people, but that's fine. This film brought Shannyn Sossamon to my…

- Mjhewho lovedThe Rules of Attraction
i absolutely despise that ending this would’ve made a great series like a very dramatic obx or the one show with the three brothers on the beach and their mother who sells drugs i have adopted paul’s persona i lowkey in a disturbing way saw myself in him the directing of this movies was phenomenal…
Lilah Roldan likedThe Rules of AttractionI liked this movie. I liked how everything played out and how it was set up. LOVED PAULS CHARACTER(then again I’m biased cause I love Ian Somerholder) I also like how each of the character had similar qualities. I enjoyed all the plot lines and music too. Did not like SA scenes
Lorna is "meh" onThe Rules of AttractionThis was like a dark and depressing American Pie film. Some shocking moments and was filmed in a cool way. You can see the connections with American Psycho, especially the name Bateman. But I dunno, I was expecting more from this. Ian Somerholder was brilliant though as Paul.
- matilda likedThe Rules of Attraction
i enjoyed this movie. it was a lot more complex than i was expecting but almost in a good way. the whole reversing of the clips every so often was confusing but for how frequently it happened, i wasn’t annoyed.
addyson likedThe Rules of Attractionuntil about half way through I thought i found one of my new favs but the second half is a bit rushed and the story line gets overly entangled, still a good watch
emmarosenberger dislikedThe Rules of Attractionthought the arrangement of clips was hard to follow and ending felt abrupt and unfinished, basically just watched for young ian somerhalder
- grace is "meh" onThe Rules of Attraction
liked the first half a lot bit the last half was so depressing, it had a totally different feel that kinda soured the whole movie for me
awr likedThe Rules of Attractionthis was so good and the plot really grabbed my attention. ending was lowkey super unsatisfying tho but it was really good overall
Vogue Italia likedThe Rules of Attractionso uniquely and wonderfully shot, such a tragic and heart wrenching story that digs so deeply

The harder the movie tries to shock, the shriller it rings.

Actually I quite enjoyed the film -- but how do I get rid of this awful discharge?
