Rated Ghost World 9/10

This is a movie about being a fuck-up, and deciding to put a chapter of your life behind you, and ow, it stings. This movie is also a great collection of "loser porn", which both laughs at and cherishes its showcase of weirdos. It's such an awkward movie, about one of the most awkward periods of your life. It nails what it feels like to be 18 and so fucking lost with who you are and where you are going. One moment you are a carefree high school student, and the next you are supposed to decide what to do with your adult life, all the time feeling that there is almost no way you are going to get anything right. It's also great to watch Buscemi at his peak, and Johansson at her beginning. Makes me miss Thora Birch dearly.
