Reviews in German: "This is not an easy film to watch as it wallows in a graphic and sickening ì
portrayal of a young man's descent into a drug-induced nightmare. However, ì
Leonard Di Caprio is brilliant in his portrayal of poet and writer Jim ì
Carroll." JW *** The Star March 13, 1996
"Jim Caroll's classic novel, about a schoolboy basketball hero and youthful ì
drug addict, prompted Patti Smith to say: 'It shares the same intellectual ì
quality and bravado as Rimbaud.' Here it is turned into an ordered, updated ì
and unsuccesful film by music-video director Scott Kalvert. Unsuccesful, that ì
is, apart from a dazzling performance by Leonardo di Caprio, who is the only ì
one not to fail his golden opportunity." AW, Mail & Guardian, March 15, 1996
"Harrowing rites of passage story in which drugs are the focal point. Realist ì
portrayal of the descent into hell by two young men who discover the American ì
Dream as a nightmare. Powerful performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and pop ì
star Marky Mark." Derek Wilson *** The Argus March 26, 1996
