About this movie

On the outskirts of Brooklyn, Frankie, an aimless teenager, suffocates under the oppressive glare cast by his family and a toxic group of delinquent friends. Struggling with his own identity, Frankie begins to scour hookup sites for older men. When his chatting and webcamming intensify, he begins meeting men at a nearby cruising beach while simultaneously entering into a cautious relationship with a young woman. As Frankie struggles to reconcile his competing desires, his decisions leave him hurtling toward irreparable consequences. Eliza Hittman's award-winning Sundance hit is a powerful character study that is as visually stunning as it is evocative. - ( Original Title - Beach Rats )

Ratings and reviews

I think this movie should get a negative rating because while I'm 23 and an "adult" I couldn't keep my 6 year old sister from seeing the in appropriate parts and therefore think the movie should suffer cause I'm a HORRIBLE BABYSITTER. UNBELIEVABLE you would even write such a dumbass review. Grow up and think then speak you only make yourself look and sound like an idiot!!

Choppy and Brooding I feel that the camera work was subpar in the movie. It was shaky at times. I also think that the characterization of the protagonist did not allow much sympathy for him. I believe that the main character was a bad influence on his friends for the majority of the film, not the other way around. Finally, I feel that the ending was anti-climatic. I did not see any resolution to the circumstances or epiphany by the protagonist in sight!

Ratings or no ratings, common sense should tell any adult, this movie is not fit for a 6 year old, or any other young minor. Don"t blame the movie for poor personal judgement. You should never not rely on others to decide what is appropriate and inappropriate viewing material. Watch the preview. Read what it is about. The plot alone, should tell you it is inappropriate for young children.
