Chris Norris Film Comment Magazine Nov 14, 2013
One of the film's greatest strengths is its rendering of punk's style, sound, and seedy milieu, showing in explicit detail how lost souls might redeem themselves in one explosive half-hour in the spotlight. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times Mar 3, 2011
2.5/5
The visual dexterity exhibited by Mr. Mortier, in his feature debut, and his cinematographer, Glynn Speeckaert, may keep you watching if not necessarily involved. Go to Full Review Nicolas Rapold Village Voice Mar 1, 2011
The flashy adaptation of the book by aging Belgian provocateur Herman Brusselmans is as systematically offensive and boisterously vulgar as its degenerate punk protagonists. Or at least that's the aim. Go to Full Review Mariko McDonald Film Threat Aug 12, 2008
4.5/5
One of those rare films that still manages to haunt you long after you leave the theatre, for people who like that kind of thing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steven F. @SteveGotScored Mar 3, 2026 A crazy movie with a great soundtrack! See more Apr 28, 2021 Un film che a parer mio va assolutamente visto, esoso, esagerato e con violenza gratuita e volgarità surreale, ma nasconde davvero qualcosa di più. Regia, colori e fotografia sono qualcosa di sensazionale, ad oggi il film che meglio rende l'idea di squallido. Non da meno è anche la presenza dell'ottima musica, che dire... se sei alla ricerca di quello squallore finissimo che ti tiene incollato allo schermo questo é il film giusto: essenza del punk. Disponibile su prime video. See more Oct 25, 2017 Sick film, a love it. See more Aug 29, 2016 This movie is disturbing! See more Jun 4, 2016 Que es la adaptación de un libro se nota y de muy buena forma, algo diferente, decadente con una música excelente. See more Feb 2, 2016 I've had this one laying around for ages, as I think I won it in some random Interweb contest, so I was happy to finally give ti a spin and see what's up. The story of a group of misfits trying to form a rock band and the ensuing manipulations and chaos that this causes are rather engaging, though I don't know how often I would revisit the film.
