COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Beautiful and haunting submitted by manz on December 22, 2021, 1:41pm A young Laura Dern perfectly portrays Connie. The film is sparse and beautiful, and you really hope it doesn't go where you think it's going to go. - 5 Stars.

A Complement to Blue Velvet submitted by jibkidder on June 13, 2023, 11:17pm Very strange direction, with interpersonal awkwardness at like Paul Schrader levels and a killer performance from a teenage Dern, plus a very Jim Carey performance from Treat Williams if you ask me! A minor satellite in the "Blue Velvet" universe though both "River's Edge" and Dennis Hopper's startling "Out of the Blue" are better.
