    Found the characters unlikeable and not developed enough. It's a dark and obscure indie type film that definitely has it's moments and has a great cast. Jared Harris is funny with his eyeliner and camp performance. Find it a stretch that Danes and Peet would want to bed Culkin!

    Maybe the first sights of Kieran Culkin's character traits that will caracterize him in years to come. The film? Kind of up and down

    In my opinion, the movie uses very good camera and audio visual equipment and the crew members and the filmmakers have played their roles very well. I really liked it.

    I really didn’t like this movie. The main character was so detestably unlikeable that I couldn’t even care when he shows a glimpse of humanity at the end. No redeeming characters. Just an ugly movie that leaves you feeling annoyed.

    I thought the movie showed a realistic version of depression and distinction in family. This one is worth watching. I have seen it on more these one occasion.

    absolutely terrible opening scene. no one on the planet wants to listen to a lady have fake sleep apnea for 10 minutes straight. this is simply an unpleasant film, and that takes away from any humor it might carry. i fully enjoy dark comedies as well, but the movie is just uncomfortable and not as witty as it's described to be.

    Disaffected youth from an affluent family is poignantly portrayed in this movie. Do the rich really speak like that to each other?

    happy to have watched it again. This movie is an evergreen. Kieran Culkin is not just "Mac's brother": He has talent and has been underrated for so many years and is finally getting the recognition he deserved

    It had been almost two decades since I last saw what I now view as the Holden Caulfield/Roman Roy mash up that, for obvious reasons, could not have been appreciated in that manner until recently. I enjoy the darker and sharper sense of humor on display here and yet am still left with a fairly healthy dose of pathos after the proceedings as well. This is also one of those casts that has become more impressively robust, in the intervening years, since my last viewing.
