This was one of the most disturbing and difficult movies I have seen in a while. In the tradition of Smithereens and all those other homeless new york punk rock wanna be chick movies, imagine if she never ever got her crap together and was still doing the same thing at 40? Antimatter the man character is a homeless drug abuser who wants to be famous, she's in a band who really barely tolerates her, but she writes great lyrics so they keep her. She's promiscuous and out of it, and going nowhere fast regardless of her ability to write entertaining punk songs. The guys whisper 'If she was 19 and hot maybe we'd get somewhere, but we kick her out of the band she will literally die. This band is her life' Toward the end of the film she drops nuggets of semi wisdom, and seems to have a bizarre clairity onher situation even though she is completely losing it. If you want to feel sick and like you've been kicked in the stomach, see this one.
