The moody Dark Smith (James Duval), his bisexual girlfriend (Rachel True), her lesbian lover (Kathleen Robertson) and their shy gay friend (Nathan Bexton) plan on attending the wildest party of the year.

So much fun, especially if you grew up in the nineties. I was dying laughing in some parts, others were ridiculous (I don't blame anyone for not liking the movie), but the ending actually had me almost at tears. A totally fun, random late night watch

I would've given this no stars if i could, but i love "egg" in this so a half star just for her!! anyway, this isn't a good movie. especially not for sober people or for people under the age of 18. the start was okay but progressively got more confusing and made me more uncomfortable, i think whoever made this was on an acid trip. the "nipple" scene had to be the WORST bit. and i don't understand why it was there, i don't even understand the point of the movie. why was the ending scene even a thing? this makes you confused and hella uncomfortable and in the ending theres no point across. do NOT pay for this movie and do NOT watch unless you think weird movies with strange plot twists and no point are fun then go for it. honestly this movie was a waste of my time, like i could've watched something better in that 1 hour, 18 minutes and 13 seconds. this movie was trying to be so funny that it made it unfunny, this movie is just overall annoying. during this i was uncomfortable, shocked, flabbergasted, confused, it left me wanting to kill myself, and slit my wrists. this movie should be BANNED. this weird ass movie. i hope i forget about this dumbass movie. STOP MAKING MOVIES WHENEVER YOU'RE ON ACID TRIPS AND OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE SCRIPTS. i would not watch this movie to save my life, i would watch this movie to save my mothers life. this movie is HORRIBLE and i do NOT recommend for ANYONE. if you genuinely like this i think you need to stop snorting your pills and go outside. me and my friend are deeply offended by how horrible this movie was.

Was like a acid trip inside of a fever dream. Strange and unexpected. Strange and bad pacing loved the character EGG. Left me feeling uncomfortable and will prolly never ever recommend to someone I'm fond of. Heavy theme on drug use and do not recommend if you are sensitive about self-harm, rape, or suicide. left me feeling extremely strange and felt as if i was dissociated the entire movie, couldn't understand what was going on but that may have been the point, i couldn't tell. Don't not recommend for people under 18 or anyone who has struggled with poor mental health. Would never watch again, DO NOT PAY FOR THIS MOVIE.

Highly effective at being affecting. Araki achieves what he sets out to do: follow the life of one person during one day in Los Angeles, with all the Hollywood stars doing cameos. The plot was to lead ...nowhere...because this was a look at disaffected youth and their lives in 1997.

Reminded me of The Doom Generation, same style of filming and acting. Co-starring a young (18) Mena Suvari, how could you go wrong? More of a film for older teens and younger adults, I was 22 when it was released, so I'm old now and I'll still play it for my younger friends and family members who always say "another one of your weird movies...". Yeah, it's a weird movie. Worth checking out if you're in to this genre, not so much if you're in to the more mainstream styles of movies. It's not really serious, although it does touch on some serious issues. The characters Surf & Ski are my personal favorite; they're good looking blonde twin boys who talk in unison - very creative, I thought so anyway. Enjoy.

Variety

Spinning his wheels, Araki has made yet another film about disaffected youth, and while thematically, Nohere has nothing new to offer, there are some minor visual rewards; film's title also describes Araki's lack of direction.

Vague Visages

It is the cinematic equivalent of shoegaze music — dreamy and disorienting in equal measure, evincing a disquieting sensuality filled with stark close-ups, disconcerting angles and fractured editing.

The Advocate

Viewers who can tune their mental dials to [Araki's] wavelength are likely to marvel at his ability to pile on the excess with hair-raising exuberance, then extract from the rubble images of startling beauty and nuggets of genuine feeling.

Araki is very skillful at textual stealth attacks, allowing melancholy to emerge from rampaging static, and vice versa.
