About
You may like Romper Stomper if you want a raw, unsettling look at racial hatred and violent youth gangs in Melbourne, with charged performances; Not for you if violent hate-fueled content feels too difficult, similar titles like American History X or The Believer aren’t for you either.
Pros: intense performances; gritty Melbourne tension; hard-hitting themes | Cons: violence can be disturbing; hateful dialogue; not for repeat viewing
