Hey there, Igby goes down is a great movie. Meet Igby Slocumb (Kieran Culkin), a young, yet full grown cynic boy who just can not fit in with his family and environment. He will do anything to frustrate his mother and drops out of school constantly. "Igby goes down" is a dark comedy (or sometimes named bittersweet) and like many other fine (often indie) American movies in this genre the last years it stands out for me as the best one (Garden state, Buffalo '66, confessions of a dangerous mind, ghost world, about schmidt, requiem for a dream, to die for, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, secretary, election, rushmore, donnie darko, lost in translation, American psycho and some others.) They all contain elements of comedy combined with visible, believable drama. The comedy is not explicit, but reflects more the absurd (corrupted) world in which the modern Western peoples sometimes live in.
What I think is great about this movie is that you learn why Igby has become like this. Even though Igby is a slacker, you will like him immediately from the first scene. Igby is actually a normal boy who doesn't care much for the superficialities his family (mother Suasan Sarandon & father Bill Pullman) smothers him with. In fact, he only cares much for his dad, a mental patient.
Igby runs away from school and house and meets some great characters; his real father's heroin junkie mistress (gorgeous Amanada Peet), her transvestite room mate, a slightly older college girl next door who he falls in love with (Claire Danes). Yeah, Igby is living the life, but like all good things, it comes to an end when reality steps in. His brother steals his girlfriend. His roommates slip further into drugs and Igby must return home to his mother. She has become sick and in a confronting euthanasia scene Igby can finally come to terms with her. He can even come to terms with his numb half brother (Ryan Phillipe), a stiff, young republican, college boy.
Forget those stupid Oscar movies. They are either unmanly tearjerkers or unfairly lobbied into winning by scheming execs. Develop your own taste. Revolution now, art has to be made! Anyway highly recommended
