Movie Reviews of Suburbia
Movie Review: Great movie, terrible DVD transfer...
Summary: 4 Stars
My 4-star rating is for the movie itself. Suburbia was a pleasant surprise. I don't remember seeing this in the 80's, and honestly, I grabbed it off the shelf by accident (I was thinking of a movie I wanted called Crime & Punishment in Suburbia) but after watching it, I was certainly happy I'd made a mistake. Suburbia is about a group of teens who are rejected from their homes for various reasons, and our main character has an alcoholic mom who can barely take care of him or his younger brother so he leaves to try to lighten her load and winds up running around with other forgotten youths who call themselves The Rejected, or T.R. for short. It's not a happy-ending tidy kind of film, so don't think this is some shiny happy people living in suburbia thing. It's not, but it shows us a different perspective and aspect of life. The kids have learned how to adapt to survive, living in abandoned homes that have long been forgotten about and getting their groceries in a way most of us would never imagine (which is one of my favorite parts and I'll say no more as not to spoil it). Great live punk performances and and interesting story really hold Suburbia up. The acting seems a little amateur in parts but to me can be easily overlooked. Great movie, and my only complaint is the transfer. It's crappy, to be polite, though there's a different word I'd rather use to describe it. If you can get past the poor transfer quality, and the description of the movie sounds interesting to you, check it out. I'm glad I mistook Suburbia for something else otherwise I'd never have had the pleasure of watching it.
