5.0 out of 5 stars Keanu - what a performance!, 15 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Keanu Reeves delivers a superb performance as a teenager coming to terms with his best friend's suicide. If you don't think Keanu can act, watch this one followed by "Bill & Ted","Little Buddha" and then "The Matrix" - all of them show different facets of acting.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazingly underated movie., 7 Sep 2000
This is a really fantastic movie. I first saw it about 7 years ago and spent the next 3 years trying to find a copy of it on video and then a further 3 years trying to locate the soundtrack. The film tells the story of a group of teenagers trying to deal with the suicide of a close friend. It is very sensitive and though provoking film, which after 7 years still makes me cry. Keanu Reeves shows that he really can act. The soundtrack is brilliant - Joe Strummer of the clash alongside Lou Reed and The Stranglers. Wow!

5.0 out of 5 stars sad..., 17 Feb 2007
This review is from: Permanent Record [DVD] [1988] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This film always haunted me so I purchased it recently and it still does. I think it's because the characters in the film go through a therapeutic process of accepting their friend's suicide but we as spectators dont feel the same thing - the resolution is too neat and all we're left with in the final shot is an empty scene, looking out over the water - the place where the boy killed himself. The suicide is too troubling and the attempt at catharsis in the rest of the film doesnt work. The characters have found some sort of peace without us actually feeling it! I came away feeling just as sad this time as I did the first time. Still, I give it 5 stars because not many films leave this deep a feeling.
