This film had so many disturbing and just flat out disgusting things in it that I don't even know where to begin. And the worst part was that the disgusting bits served no purpose, I felt, other than to gross us out. I won't go into too much detail, but I don't think you should watch this film if you don't like to be made to vomit or kept awake at night. It was pointless and just downright nasty!The only thing that kept be from giving this film a lower number of stars was the fact that some of the shots were quite well done, from a purely artistic standpoint, although I was unable to fully appreciate them due to the other weird and gross things happening in this movie. A boy takes a bath in dirty poop water and when he drop his candy bar in he just takes it out and eats it like nothing happened. It's sick sick sick and I don't recommend it.

This movie is a widely hated one from what I have seen and read, but, if you have any appreciation for art, realism, character study, and seeing the harsh realities that many filmmakers are to afraid to add in their movies, then this should be a gem to you. The movie, at least in my opinion, is a metaphor for poverty, depravity, hopelessness, rough upbringings, the people that stem from those upbringings, and the downtrodden parts of America that aren't all sunshine and rainbows. I think anyone should just give this movie a chance and put their thinking caps on while doing it, not expect to be a huge blockbuster.

If you are looking for structure or a true story line don't watch this film. That however doesn't mean it's a bad film. If you are an independent buff you will love this work. If not .. then it would leave you saying WTF was this person thinking LOL It is bizarre, disgusting and horrifying, yet you have to see what's coming next. Because you in no way know .. It is an interesting work, and a film I own and pull out and watch every now and again. It changes scenes revolving around a small group of characters that are sure to surprise/offend. Probably the thing I found interesting and it's not something you catch when you first watch it, is that there pretty much is no parental supervision throughout the film.
