A Raw Glimpse Behind the Nordic Calm
One more way to act like we don't know "what's going on with our kids"
I imagined it's going to be like Gummo and Kids and in a way it is but it fails in one very important aspect: showing the kids' own corruption. See, Harmony Korine's beautiful beings are tragic because the conflict is within themselves. A conflict with the environment like in here is just romantic and unfortunately, rings false. These boys are practically the four musketeers. And I don't like it because it's just one more way to act like we don't know "what's going on with our kids".
P. S. The clairvoyant mother is a very unnecessary detail and the final conflict from the sister's appearance onwards is badly developed.
