Gutterbug

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.

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 is about as good as you get to a flashback to the Trainspotting glory, although T.S. was the ultimate realistic look at the junkie world Gutterbug has parts that make me question the raw authenticity it's attempting to achieve!

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.

This was a fantastic kinda acting like dopeheads under the influence of drugs pills and alcohol, a marvellous tragic, sad a bittertasting saga, on a low budget, tale of youth and young adults having lost or on the verge of loosing the game of existence due to the drug and punk'n roll epidemic.

there are some cheesy bits and pieces here and there and the bitter end couldve been even grittier and should have been refurbished a little thats why i lost 2 stars on behalf of the true belief in all the rest. but the psychedellic acting and wild choice of score are at a top level and more than amazing so its a big recommend from the grumpy old man..
