thiago S @Thiagostone Apr 28 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Dillon4412 D @Dillon55 Mar 2 Classic movie from the 70's. Matt Dillon and Vincent Spano debut movie. Kids in a small town. Go way out of control. Very good movie. See more Darsou A @RT09893534 Oct 17 Kaplan has a fine feel for the crushing blandness of "planned communities"-the anger that possesses his underage heroes proceeds from a physically oppressive emptiness, represented by rows of hollow town houses and vast, blasted fields. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Oct 2 A bizarre little coming of age film that in the end is wildly entertaining and an astute cultural representation of a time and place in America, where kids lashed out at becoming an afterthought of their parents. The situation facing the characters in this movie is not recognizable to generations that came later. Technological time consumers like cell phones, TikTok and Instagram were not an option.The kids here were literally carried like luggage to a housing development where life catered exclusively to adults. No amenities are available to young people outside school and an archaic rec center which provides little in the way of fun. Kids literally are expected to be content with nothing to do. The youth eventually turn to vandalism and drugs as an escape from boredom and frustration. Upper middle class kids turning violent because they're bored? Yes, these are 14 and 15 year olds opting out of the middle-aged "way of life" chosen by their parents The acting is top-notch, in particular Dillon, Kramer, and Ludwig. The direction is brilliant, with several epic shots. The soundtrack is incredible.. In fact, the soundtrack is legendary.

See more Oggie B @OGDawg Jul 24 Jonathan Kaplan's Over the Edge is a sensitive and deceptively shocking portrait of middle-class decadence and alienation set against an impersonal, dehumanized, futuristic Sunbelt society.
