I really like Larry Clarks realistic style of direction. The film starts out magnificently. The characters are real, well developed and believable. I do not know why Clark went so over the top though when the skaters arrived in Beverly Hills midway through the film. In spite of that, it is still successful. I was never for an instance bored. The score fits very well with the movie. The cast of unknowns do a wonderful job, especially Jonathan Velasquez. Unusual, thought provoking, at times stupid but well worth watching. Th Los Angeles setting is a big plus, very much an area of extremes, which is exactly why Larry Clark chose that locale.
