Reality Bites (1994)
10/10
Why are people so hard on this movie??
12 September 2019
I don't usually write reviews but I had to add a little positivity to these brutal reviews! This is an essential 90s movie - I loved it then, I still love it now. It kindles so much nostalgia in me for that time period - right before cell phones & social media were ubiquitous. Many of this movie's negative reviews are just complaining that the characters are lazy & whiny. I'm really not sure why reviewers seem so brutally dismissive of this movie. I wholeheartedly enjoy well-written critiques and reviews, but why bother taking the time (& space) just to say "this movie sucked", "so and so's acting sucked."? That doesn't tell anybody anything about a movie, because it's all your opinion that isn't backed up in any way. I guess I'm just sick of sifting through all the nonsense to find well-written reviews (of any movie) on IMDB. Reality Bites is a sweet rom-com with great 90s styles, music, and topics. I don't think it's intended to define a generation, but it is very reminiscent of that time period.
