Title: Heart-breakingly weird on a few levels
Review: Hmmmmm. This is a hard one to review, I mean if you lean towards having little or no affection for lost souls, gay young men, and the American underbelly, than this is probably not for you. Plus, it is a weird movie. I mean this is Gus. And it is not so much weird, but kinda trainspotting freaky. There are a lot of uncomfortable scenes, on every level. River Phoenix is submerged in this character and radiates in the presence of the camera. Generally, it is a sad movie about messed up kids, looking for that great evader, LOVE. It's one of those movies that I can only watch it when I'm in a state. For somewhat happier Phoenix viewing, I prefer Dogfight, but, alas, it is also a bit sad.
