MTV-after-school-special castration/commodification of a uniquely dreamy/acerbic book. Which idiot let Scott Kalvert direct?

Utterly amazed. The deep arc, the excellent performances - especially Leo, the characters, set designs. Phenomenal

Watchable only because of DiCaprio's performance. The plot holes are huge, and the director seems to have been taking more drugs than the main character. What's he doing? 3/6

I don't know what it was but there was something really weird about how the camerawork was done, it had the look of a music video...

It was a pretty average movie, but Leonardo DiCaprio is absolutely spectacular, especially towards the end. Probably not something I'd watch again any time soon though.
