CGiii Comment

All the usual new-director clichés: time-lapse with slow music, scenes of unimaginable grossness, bad acting, constant sex talk, (blanked out) nudity (why bother) and, of course, drugs.

Johnson may be an angry young man with a camera - but, it has all been done before - too many times.

Isn't it about time that new directors actually watched some [good] films before contemplating a career for which they are so acutely unqualified to partake in?

A pointless mess and an inexcusable waste of time.

The(ir) Blurb...

Tweek City is a week in the life of Bill, a potentially closeted, half-Latino, small-time speed dealer in San Francisco's Mission District. Bill is stuck on an endless walk from one empty experience to the next. Only Bill's friend Jerm has the ability to connect and ground him in reality. When Jerm makes an ill-advised stage dive, Bill plunges into a downward spiral that takes him on a nocturnal journey through the streets of San Francisco and ultimately down to Los Angeles where he crashes his high school sweetheart's wedding. From his sleep-deprived, hallucinogenic state, Bill fails miserably in a desperate attempt to reconnect with his first and only love. With nowhere else to go, Bill jacks a car and ends up at the deserted drive-in theater of his childhood where he is forced to confront the ghosts that he had tried to leave behind.
