This was easily Rivers best performance.Its a beautiful film... funny and heartbreaking at the same time. No other performance has affected me the way Rivers did in this film.I know at one point River was supposed to play Andy Warhol in another film to be directed by Gus Van Sant.That would have been interesting to see.I really miss River....he was the best young actor of my generation.
I love this film so much I bought it; rarely streamed. Excellent acting and story. The Portland scene is an area that got gentrified about 15 years after the film so it’s a time capsule to me to see the “scummy” side of the city as it was with squatters and renting out the entire floor of a 4 story building for $900/month …..
Saw it for the first time last night for the first time since first release. Great film if you haven’t seen it. It’s a bit ( alright a lot) weird but just go with it. Really holds up
It's an interesting and evocative movie, quite important to me when I was a young gay man (I'm a year or two younger than Phoenix). But please ditch the awful academic language of identity, marginalization, oppression, and especially "queerness" (whatever that means). The film is an artwork and needs to be interpreted on its own terms. Tell your audience about the movie, not about some theory you read in a couple poorly written books.

Mike's mom told him that his father was his brother I think that really messed his head up

I wish this movie got more talk
Really good analysis!! I want to read those books on queer cinema now!
