Dazed and Confused (1993)


IMDb plot summary: The adventures of high school and junior high students on the last day of school in May 1976.
Directed by Richard Linklater. Starring Jason London, Joey Lauren Adams, Milla Jovovich, and Shawn Andrews.

As much as I love Linklater's writing, this one doesn't do a lot for me. Maybe I had to be a high school partier or a teenage boy in the 70s or the 90s to really get it. There were so many characters to keep track of, and none of the female characters were anything interesting, and Linklater's dialogue was not nearly as interesting as it usually is. It's fine, but it missed the mark for me.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Dazed and Confused < The Asphalt Jungle
Dazed and Confused > Withnail & I
Dazed and Confused > X-Men
Dazed and Confused > Checking Out
Dazed and Confused < Twin Sisters
Dazed and Confused < Ready Player One
Dazed and Confused < Dear Frankie
Dazed and Confused < Solo: A Star Wars Story
Dazed and Confused > A Knight's Tale
Dazed and Confused > The Disappearance of Alice Creed
Dazed and Confused > The Spanish Prisoner
Dazed and Confused < The Man in the Iron Mask

Final spot: #1595 out of 2853.
