About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an offbeat, nihilistic road trip packed with rude humor, shock, and surreal encounters, especially if you liked Nowhere; Not for you if you want a clear plot or toned-down content.
Pros: wildly weird energy; darkly funny moments; memorable 90s soundtrack | Cons: thin story; uneven acting; extreme sex and violence
