Larry Clark's controversial film about New York City adolescents walking the AIDS tightrope is also an unblinking look at the dehumanizing rituals of growing up. But it really doesn't add up to more than the sum of its various shocks--virgin busting, skinny-dipping, male callousness--overlayed with middle-class disapproval. Clark is hectoring us for cutting kids loose at a terrible time in modern American history, but so are a lot of other people, who also offer alternatives and ideas. The film does nothing to push us toward new thoughts, new solutions, new dreams. It is more like a window onto our worst fantasies about what our children are doing out there on the streets. --Tom Keogh

 Love this movie July 16, 2008
This movie all takes place in one day, but tells the story on how kids screw up their lives. It's all a big cycle. This movie is very artsy. The first time I saw it I fell in love with it and bought it the next day. I can't even describe how good this movie is.

This can be a very distubing movie if you allow yourself to get into the real theme and don't pay attention to the horrible acting. Rosario Dawson and her girlfriends were a lot more beleivable than the boys wild almost orgy scenes. The think i remember about this movie is the ending...Telly has just broken in another virgin and given her HIV...his life is about to be hell and he doesn't know it...and in the end life goes on in the city. Buisness as usual and nobody really is going to notice unless it's you or your that has this monster disease. Telly is badly in need of an A @ @ kicking and that goes for the whole lot of the boys like Casper. This is disturbing because there is so lil' interaction from adults in this film that at times it seems as if it's a documentary...Like Thirteen and Bully, Also Alpha Dog...this is an explosive world and this is one of the scenes behind "Door # 1"...thank god my kids biggest problems are picking up their clothes...! I don't care at all for the poor acting as in the afore mentioned movies the acting is all superb...this is the biggest shortcoming in this lil' movie with a big kick in the head.

This is today's American youth? We're doomed; this is moral implosion.
My generation, and we weren't particularly thoughtful or polite, used words such as: peace, please, love, thank-you, welcome. . .I don't think I heard any or those words here. (Sorry, "love" is used in the film, but only as a personal lubricant.)
These KIDS are subhuman. They beat; they rob; one--and this is his goal?--tries to claim two virgins in one day.
Quit moralizing, you might say; this is only a movie and these are only actors. But--really--this is a documentary. In the ending credits, Clark claims credit for "original story". But there is no story here; it's just kids let loose. (Sorry: 21st-century American kids let loose.)
About as depressing a movie as I have ever seen.
