Two friends graduate from high school and find life in the real world difficult. Becky sets her sights on Josh, on whom both girls have a crush, and their friendship is changed forever.
An idiosyncratic portrait of adolescent alienation. Set during the malaise-filled months following high-school graduation, the film follows the proud misfit Enid (Thora Birch), who confronts an uncertain future amid the cultural wasteland of consumerist America. As her cynicism becomes too much to bear even for her best friend, Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson), Enid finds herself drawn to an unlikely kindred spirit: a sad-sack record collector many years her senior (Steve Buscemi).
Blu-ray, region A; widescreen (1.85:1 aspect ratio); 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Surprisingly submitted by markwells on July 19, 2019, 3:39pm Surprisingly good. I liked this movie. I thought the characters, especially Steve Buscemi, and story were quirky and the dialogue quite realistic. Grade: B+.

a break-out for nerds and girlfriends submitted by lisa on July 29, 2019, 4:07pm well done

ghost world submitted by qmomo on November 16, 2019, 1:42pm does a good job capturing the awkwardness and bravado of adolescent outcasts but i found it a really strange and offputting decision to greatly expand the role of steve buscemi's character from the graphic novel (in which he's barely a blip) and have his plot involve sleeping with one of the teenage leads.

Creepy submitted by gracekil on July 17, 2020, 12:37pm A little creepy with Steve Buscemi and Scar.Jo sleeping together. But it does follow the graphic novel. Otherwise it's a Quirky and funny movie.
