It's been a few years since I've read the Ellis book this film is based on, so I can't really speak to the accuracy of detail, but I can say this film does a pretty good job of capturing the spirit of the original. Since the book is so focused on the internal characters, mainly satires of the students at expensive private liberal arts colleges, it doesn't always transfer super well to the screen, but the actors all do a really good job of showing these bred-to-be-shallow, wanna-be-deep kids. The use of re-wind and split screens is albeit campy, super creative, and something most filmmakers would shy away from. Somehow, it works.
The soundtrack has got to be the single best part of the whole film. The Cure, Love and Rockets, Blondie, the Rapture... all seamlessly blended with an original electronic score by Tomandandy. I've been listening to the album on repeat since I finished the movie last night!
I absolutely adore this film, but can't give it that last star because just got more out of the book. I know it's a little unfair to judge an adaptation on the original, but surely there could have been some way to get a bit deeper into the characters. (Shorter/fewer sex scenes, maybe? Just saying. There are a lot.)
Overall, a film that's a pretty good adaptation of a great book. It's especially fun to watch as a college student, bonus points if you're at a liberal arts school. Remember as with all Ellis: it is a satire/commentary, not a glorification.
