Gutterbug

I was fortunate to see this at a festival in LA and it made me feel similar to the way I did when I first watched Requiem For a Dream. It was a real gut punch and I was honestly moved by the main characters arc. You could really tell the director understood what these characters were going through and for that I thank him.

This movie highlights so many societal issues within our country that every single person out there can relate to, through the lease of a trouble young man who became lost when his faith was destroyed by the ones he had faith in the most. There is heartbreak, love, rebellion, adventure, humor, pain, failure, and success in everyone's lives and I think this story does a great job of touching every type of viewer within those feelings and aspects of life. We don't have to be homeless to be able to relate to the underlying themes of this story, we just have to be alive, and I think that's part of what makes this story so great. If you know someone, you're doing them a disservice by withholding the recommendation to watch this film.

Loved this film, it was pretty dark and heavy at times but there was also some funny moments mixed in and the soundtrack was killer! It has its flaws, as it's definitely a lower budget indie, but having said that, with the pacing and energy of it I just couldn't look away. Would definitely recommend for fans of Suburbia, SLC Punk, and Trainspotting.

Wow,for a seemingly low budget movie,this movie delivered in so many ways.A poignant movie about a young man's journey though hell and redemption through hard drug use,low internal self image and understanding.

This is a film that is going to stay with you for a long time. Although it does have some amaeteurish issues here and there sometimes with the sound and editing...overall it's a gut punch of a film that constantly surprises you with it's intensity. There are moments that will shock you out of your stupor. A true punk rock film. The performances of the parents unfortunately didn't match the central 3 but that can be forgiven. I highly recommend this if you're ready for it.
