Its seldom a movie, so accurately depicts the Ravagings of an unstable mind, so clearly and graphicly. Its not uncommon for a person suffering feelings of neglect, and truly believing he's/she's worthless to have cruel and violent thoughts. The difference is very few people act on those thoughts.I read a comment on this film by someone else, Who kept going down a list of things he/she didn't like, Rather than pointing out the entire point this film was pursuing. After all, Natural born killers is the same thing, but filmed differently. There's one thing about this movie you can compare is that In both stories, the killer couple is consisted of 2 lovebirds who believe they are hated, unwanted, abused, and neglected by everyone, and everything... Except each other! The difference is the body count, and How in Natural born Killers, They glorify Serial Murder. This movie depicts how One character of the couple, Is afraid, and weak minded,In desperate need of acceptance. The other is unstable and completely detached. Together they form a couple that Truly and utterly has no Ability to feel for others misery, When their own happiness is At stake. At least this is my interpretation. Jimmy And Judy, They meet at an odd point in each-others lives, circumstances pull them closer together as the story evolves, They explode in a violent, but fluid motion set forth by their own Stupidity, and misery. Its as accurate a depiction of A Rebel without a clue, as any movie of recent years. Maybe Its not for everyone, and maybe its not filmed to be glorified, and "Normal" but its a wild ride and image of what Unstable minds, given the right nudge, can do. not a family movie, Not a movie for the weak stomached, But nevertheless, Its a movie That takes you to limits many films are unable... To the edge!

This movie was a pleasant surprise and though reminding a lot "Natural Born Killers", from which borrowed many things, has a particular appeal of its own. Both kids are mentally disturbed and the whole story focuses on this disturbance and on the experiment of videotaping everything - by the way the manner sequences are shot is similar to "The Blair Witch Project". Edward Furlong's rage and Rachael Bella's sexual drive are visible and their outrageous behavior is believable, their chemistry is quite impressive (on the other hand they're husband and wife in the real life). I'd recommend the movie for their performances and for the street theater like atmosphere.

Hands down this was the best film at the festival. Realistic, haunting, and down right disturbing, I couldn't stop thinking about this film for days - in a good way.The chemistry between the two leads, (Edward Furlong and Rachael Bella) is amazing. I hear they are now a real life couple.My friend and I saw it Sunday night at the Women's building and we were nothing short of amazed. Got to meet the directors and they were very open to questions and explained some of the challenges they faced while making the film.This film will be known for quite some time. It really will make you think.

Jimmy and Judy This clever, heartfelt piece of gonzo indie film-making is the movie Natural Born Killers should have been. It commences with a clever premise: everything we see is captured through the lens of Jimmy's videocamera. In the first reel, this conceit works a tad like Bogart's character just out of prison in Elmer Daves' Dark Passage, with the subjective camera point-of-view employed until after plastic surgery.Jimmy (a great turn by former child star Edward Furlong, whose career seems to be headed in the right direction again) reveals himself only in the presence of Judy (Rachael Bella). Jimmy has poor impulse control. He woos Judy by exacting revenge on the kids who have bullied her at school, films his parents' gender-switching sex, and, in a very funny piece of Americana, freaks out in a fast-food car lane after pickles are improperly included with his double cheeseburger.They hit the road for their obligatory crime spree. A bout of in-car flirting leads to a very twisted hit-and-run accident. J & J wind up in a rural commune where young folks of both genders become the playthings of a speed freak Hitler (prompting a scary monologue by William Sadler).J & J would be truly sublime if the plot gave more attention to Bella's Judy. Furlong and Bella have that rare sexual/emotional chemistry that allows one to suspend judgment and enjoy the ride. Furlong is a smart, intuitive actor who seems willing to do almost anything to satisfy a role. The fast-food diet gives him a slightly bloated look, which is good for the character, bad for Eddie. Superbly helmed by writer/directors Jon Schroder and Randall K. Rubin, this one would make a deliciously twisted teen triple-feature with Larry Clark's Another Day in Paradise and Francois Ozon's Criminal Lovers. (Roxie, 2/4; Women's Bldg., 2/12)
