Insomniac X @RT03001349 03/24/2025 Experimental indie film explores 90's Austin counterculture through a succession of shifting and colliding perspectives. The drop-outs and free spirits in Slacker reject social norms and expectations in favor of their own idiosyncratic fixations -- without the unifying political ideas of 60's counterculture, however, the kids are left all too vulnerable to the dark undercurrent of narcissism, paranoia, and mental illness that runs through the film. The wheels are turning, but we seem to be going nowhere. Slacker is a fascinating and innovative document of the spirit of its times.

These teenagers sure are some slackers. See more stephen b @RT02381805 09/14/2024 Wait until he learned he could go back and animate these scenes. See more Mason M @RT73597940 09/14/2024 Richard Linklater is one of my favorite directors, and he's usually great at the film about nothing, so I was very disappointed by this film. It has a great concept, and I don't usually like to say this, but it was incredibly boring. It's not that funny, I can't latch on to anything in the film, due to it switching characters every time I blink, and it's paced so terribly that it feels like it's 3 hours long. But even then, there are some good parts to this, I liked the opening taxi scene, and I liked the part with the guy trying to get over his girlfriend. But Slacker just feels like a chore to watch.

However, Slacker did not sit well with me. I do applaud its creative vignettes, which sometimes got a chuckle out of me, but over all this movie was boring and uninteresting. It took me multiple attempts to finish it and I when I did it just left me with a unsatisfying ending. See more Read all reviews
