In the late Dennis Hopper's mind a better film than Bertolucci's Luna and his own Easy Rider, the actor-director's brilliant, still shockingly subversive 1980 cherry bomb is as sad and unsettling as dysfunctional-family dramas come.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Hopper keeps things light and off-the-cuff, allowing his performers free rein...
A genuinely alarming miasma of misplaced sexuality and rock 'n' roll fetishism.
Hopper's characters are in the realm of the irreparable; if the fervent acting occasionally overheats, the reckless emotions nonetheless convey the authentic struggle of personal experience.
