A truthful and inspired movie, 4 April 1999
Author: Christian Hayes (cghayes@aol.com) from London, England

This film is refreshing and unique in that the messages and ideas put across are filled entirely with truth. The dialogue seems to say exactly what the rest of us are wanting to say, and in this way, you leave the film inspired. The performances are excellent and the direction by Linklater is, as always, a pleasure.
