Standout Aspects

Direction

Hines' only directorial feature—uneven but weirdly personal.

Acting

Kirkland's fragile performance outclasses the material.

Best for:Solo: Late-night uncomfortable viewing where nobody can judge your choices.·Streaming: When you've exhausted every other '90s indie and need chaos.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Adult-minor relationship depicted with uncomfortable ambiguity.·Triggers: Abortion subplot handled with '90s heaviness.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Gregory Hines, primarily known as a dancer and actor, never directed again after this—one wonders if the critical silence convinced him to stay in front of the camera.

Insight

The film's 3.8 TMDB rating with only 4 votes suggests it barely exists in cultural memory—possibly because distributors sensed the premise aged like milk left in a hot car.
