Kwik Stop (2001). 1h 50m | Not Rated

“Easy, breezy indy u0026#39;roadu0026#39; flick taking place in small town, USA. The title being metaphorical.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell written with actors giving dead on performances. After first viewing and feeling full u0026#39;n satisfied I made a second run through Kwik Stop and worshiped the dialog. Tightly written and delivered invoking awe, in each scene, of the direction. Yet the film does not hem itself in as the very last scene invokes a theme from earlier that blows open the possibilities of the final three characters. With rumination, I like the ending more and more; realizing the screenwriteru0026#39;s almost dare to the viewer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYes it is, yet another youth u0026#39;learning and growingu0026#39; distopian tale that have been coming so frequently of late, and seem to be the u0026#39;fast ticketu0026#39; to Sundance/Hollywood (thank god for p2p). In this style, the lyrics of each song fills in the natural voids of communication between the proto-typical teens, and does this well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is little to no violence or nudity, shocking or otherwise, to stir up inflated buzz. This results in Kwik Stop having to be judged on more quaint qualities where it smacks the u0026#39;brown bunnyu0026#39; with u0026#39;love and a 45u0026#39;. (The bunny 45 thing is a reference to the filmu0026#39;s peers and are not in Kwik Stop.)”
