Ratings and reviews

Probably the worst movie I've seen in years if not all time. Script and music feels like it was written by an emotionally challenged 14 year old. Tries to be edgy with meaningless violence, gore, sex, and over the top swearing. This movie is a massive loser who desperately wants to feel cool. This movie is for people with zero brains.

I'd foolishly skipped this film for ages after seeing it's ratings on popular movie sites (awful) and was finally sat down and forced to watch it by a friend. To my surprise I'd been skipping one of the most shockingly unique movies of the past ten years! All of the performances were astounding especially Nathan and Blind Mag. The only real blemish on this otherwise perfect piece of art was the song "Seventeen" which I personally thought didn't fit with the rest of the film. Great but not for everyone.

It was really good, great story, music was completely awesome. Only thing that made it not five stars for me was the sad ending with Shiloh's dad.
