Title: A Study In Narcissism, Not Schizophrenia or Family Relationships
Review: I'm pretty surprised at the amount of good reviews this film has gotten on Amazon--in comparison, the reviews on Netflix are, I think, much more realistic. I think people who have never been exposed to someone like Jonathan Caouette might find this film original and eye-opening, but the fact is that trashy gay male art students from dysfunctional, abusive or drug-addled families are a dime a dozen, and the streets of any major city in America are teeming with them. This film was painful to watch--I was cringing with embarrassment for Jonathan and his family through most of the scenes and found myself watching the film for the train wreck qualities of it, and not because I felt any particular interest in the story of how Jonathan coped with his situation.
Is the review positive or negative?
