A poignant, bittersweet, often funny gem.

I've watched this film quite a few times now and every time that I do, it stays with me for awhile as it's got a haunting quality to it. It's got some unforgettable moments, at times heartbreakingly sad and at other times amusing and quite funny.

Superb acting throughout, and Matt Dillon shines in this one. I felt his was a pitch perfect performance.

And kudos to Van Sant, for he nailed the period and the film looks as if it had been shot in the early 70's.

The soundtrack is great as well and it turned me on to some stuff I wasn't familiar with prior.

The ending was perfect, although, I hated to see it end.
