Reality Bites

DIRECTED BY: Ben Stiller

REVIEWED: 09-21-98

While it was a strong directorial debut for Stiller, the script left most of the audience in the cold with its myopic and histrionic focus on the slacker sub-set of Generation X. Janeane Garofalo gave a break-out performance as Winona Ryder's slutty best friend, and the much-maligned Ethan Hawke was incredibly believable as a tortured musician.
