Résumés(1)
Enid Coleslaw et Rebecca Doppelmeyer, sa meilleure amie, n'ont jamais vraiment eu d'affinités avec les autres lycéens, qu'elles trouvent bêtes et immatures. La fin de l'année approche et c'est avec un grand soulagement qu'elles vont laisser derrière elles tous ces losers. Elles décident d'habiter ensemble et de vivre sans règles, ni contraintes. Cependant, Enid échoue à ses examens terminaux et doit suivre des cours d'été pour obtenir son diplôme. Elle va alors se lier d'amitié avec Seymour, un adulte qu'elle trouve original et séduisant.

Comedy? Just a hint. Rather, it’s a sad drama about a selfish teenager who goes from nothing to nothing and manages to ruin her boyfriend's relationship with her self-centeredness. Zwigoff's sensitive direction and the excellent actors make this film a must-see. But I don’t see it as five stars.

An unnecessarily overrated film that can't decide whether it wants to be a comedy or a drama, and ends up as a bitter story about the classic search for life paths. Unfortunately, almost everything that you see here you've already seen at least once before. An interesting loser, a bored and cynical duo of girls, a supporting role of a simple top student, and a class full of weird creatures with artistic inclinations. If there's something first-class about it, it's Steve Buscemi, whom was believable for me in everything, from his neurotic outbursts to his love for records. It's a pity that the ending is somewhat calculatedly inconclusive; the rest is pleasant but quickly forgettable.

A prequel to American Beauty. Sensitively made, often very self-aware, but this adolescent romp, for all its under-the-skin atmosphere, doesn't entertain nearly as much as its two years older and more mature sibling.
