Critics consensus

“A tiresome movie about unsympathetic college kids engaging in self-destructive behaviors.”

This is an exercise that is in love with its own superficiality, delighted with an emptiness that was all it ever aspired to, and yet it manages to turn into a better movie than it has any right to be.

Not for kids, and not for many adults, either.

Actually I quite enjoyed the movie--but how do I get rid of this awful discharge?

RTFilm FrenzyFeb 16, 2026

This atrocious movie hits all the keywords for conjuring up foul imagery: "misogyny"; "rape"; "vomit"; "scatology"; "nose-picking"; "Bret Easton Ellis."
