Reality Bites / USA / 1994

I admit it, I have a soft spot in my heart for this one. Yes, the pretentious dialogue can grate at times, and the Melrose-Place-My-Sharona atmosphere forever traps the picture in 1994. But it’s hard to resist the allure of an idealism-crushing coming-of-age flick, and the part of me that shall forever remain a naive teenager still wants to be long-shanked Ethan Hawke living the tormented artist life and making eyes at Winona Ryder.

(It should also be mentioned that the performance of Ben Stiller (who also directs) offers further evidence that he is the king of acting awkward.)
