"I always know where I am by the way the road looks..." Keanu Reeves ("The Matrix" trilogy, "The Day the Earth Stood Still") and Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominee River Phoenix ("Running on Empty," "Stand by Me") star in Academy Award-nominated director Gus Van Sant's ("Milk," "Good Will Hunting") seminal meditation on the nature of innocence as two young men living on the fringes of society peddle their bodies for sex. Amiable, none-too-bright street hustler Mike Waters works the streets of the Pacific Northwest with his best friend Scott Favor. Mike secretly loves Scott, and Scott, the son of Portland's wealthy mayor, secretly yearns to cast off the friendship of his fellow lowlifes and assume his birthright of wealth, power and respectability. Based on William Shakespeare's play, "Henry IV, Part I."

i honestly cannot see why so many call this movie "hard to follow." even if it was, i'd say that it's certainly worth the effort. i felt so many emotions, ones i didn't recall having while watching this absolutely stellar film; a masterclass in experimental gay drama. river and keanu gave us everything in their performances and more.

i have no idea what i watched, i'm watching this with my boyfriend during quarantine at 3 am, despite not understanding what is going on and hoping for the best gay drama I've ever seen, i got a movie that looks like it was put together on power-point and i love every second of it. I love bob very much. much like this review, all together i have no clue what the point of this movie is, and honestly i don't know why i'm writing a review for it. But either way this movie has inspired me in a way i am unsure of and i want more movies like this, ones that feel like your on the outside of an inside joke and trying to put it together. PLEASE watch this movie and just enjoy how truly confused you are till the very end its worth it 110%. I will be re-watching this over and over i might even show my mom either way just watch the movie and laugh!!!!!!!

Confusing. Hard to follow. Crazy in a bad way. Not very interesting to watch. Too many heteros.
