Hugely disturbing. Performances and direction are quite good, IMHO, just the story is creepy and disgusting.
Reviewer Andres Gomez is being far too kind in his description of this filth as 'hugely disturbing', 'creepy' and 'disgusting'. It is far more vulgar than that. Kind of a SPOILER coming right now! This cesspit of a movie sent me running away when Nicole Kidman bestrode Zac Efron at the beach and urinated on him. After fighting off a gaggle of other young gals that also wanted to pee on Mr. Efron...Why would anyone make such filth? I have more to say about the Paperboy but it would offend me even more to infect you with more of this steaming garbage. I would strongly suggest that you do not watch this. Matthew McConaughey what brought you to this depth? I'm very disappointed in you sir. Please make better choices.
