Suburbia

80s Drama
3.5 stars

I was surprised by this film. First, by how stiff some of the acting was. But then, as I got deeper, at how well this film seemed to capture being 14-17 years old, feeling like an outcast and living like one. It's also a solid commentary on early 80s California, not too dissimilar from Repo Man (but not nearly as polished) with great live documentary-style footage of a couple bands of the era. Definitely took me back. Yeah, this is the one with a young Flea. And his rat.
