The movie has some good things going for it, but ultimately left me feeling like I'd already experienced something similar. The story centers on recent school graduates, “Enid” (played by Thora Birch) and “Rebecca” (Scarlet Johansson), who planned to live together and find work instead of continuing their education. These two women seem to exist outside the mainstream of their town. "Enid," with her blue hair and punk style, considers herself an artist and seems to look down on most people around her. To combat boredom, they respond to a personal ad and meet “Seymour” (Steve Buscemi), someone neither initially likes, but who "Enid" begins to befriend—though she doesn't reveal that they were the ones who answered his ad and then stood him up after seeing what he looked like. As this friendship develops in unexpected ways and "Enid" gradually isolates herself from everyone else, she may find it’s too late when she finally understands how shortsighted her actions have been. There are moments where it's a quirky and clever coming-of-age story, but I struggled to connect with any of the characters. Everyone was selfish and opinionated during that time in their lives, holding others to standards they themselves didn’t meet, but that doesn’t automatically make for compelling viewing. The filmmaking seems intended to highlight the consequences of their problems and poor choices, and while Buscemi delivers a believable performance as an awkward character, I felt this film presented familiar teen angst rather than offering something new or original. Perhaps it's just my age, but it didn’t really resonate with me, unfortunately.
