Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A messy, cheeky, inelegant but unusual and interesting memoir.

fresh:
You know going in that this is going to be a fairly one-sided portrait. But it's also fairly thorough with its archival footage, historical and sociological perspective.

rotten:
Lengthy coverage of a murder trial involving Jai and Koby supplies the odd moment of meaningful reflection, but the overall impression is that of an unconvincing PR exercise.

rotten:
What begins as a probing look at this culture feels in the end like pro-surf gang propaganda.

rotten:
An odd and suspect mix of documentary and public relations.
