Broken Review

Theatre-intensive director Rufus Norris makes his début as cinematic writer/director (adapting Daniel Clay’s novel) with this dark drama saved from despair by beautifully understated playing, particularly by the totally unknown and unaffected Eloise Laurence.

Youth Lagoon: Wondrous Bughouse

When I think of teenagers, or youth in general, the image of giant walking pimples comes to mind. Bipedal pustules literally about to burst with the white, amorphous pus of sexual frustration, self-pity and unfounded angst.

While this looks like it might be a mere teen comedy, the mainstream-ish ‘comeback’ for indie writer/director Harmony Korine (who wrote the ghastly Kids and directed appalling tripe like Gummo), his intentions are much vaguer.
