Reviews

It still shows enormous empathy and sensitivity in capturing the angst and alienation of American youth, making it seem both rooted in a specific time and place and strangely timeless.

Nathan Rabin, AV Club

Its sincere sympathy for the runaway kids is what elevates this standard rebellious teen flick above many others in this genre.
