In my top five of all time submitted by SaraP on July 26, 2019, 5:58pm I love this film. I wasn't allowed into the theater when it first came out... it was the only R rated film to which I was ever denied entry. I went to a different theater though and it changed my life. The anger, the humor, the camera work, the writing, the colors, the music... it's all soooooo good.

It seemed so heavy-handed to me when it came out, like a sledgehammer. submitted by lisa on July 29, 2019, 3:02pm But maybe a sledgehammer is what's called for.

A landmark film submitted by RebeccaWittekindt on June 19, 2023, 9:07am One of the best movies ever snubbed by the Oscar’s. One of the best movies ever made. An amazing cast, and incredible script. Just as relevant today as ever.
