17-years-old Igby comes from a cinematically typical wealthy white American family; there's loads of dosh but everyone's dysfunctional at best and verging on psychopathic at worst. Igby maybe odd himself, but he knows true madness when he sees it, and he sees it in just about every member of his family. To this end the lad makes a concerted and sexually orientated bid for freedom, seduced and seducing women old enough to well know he's barely legal.

This latest offering from John Duigan ("Sirens", "Flirting") is arguably his most substantial effort to date. A sardonic study of the friendship between an 11-year-old girl and a handyman (Sam Rockwell) more than twice her age, the film skilfully avoids degenerating into low-budget Lolita-ism.

A visually brilliant film about teenage gangs in America's urban wasteland. The leader of a small dying gang, Rusty James, lives in the shadow of the memory of his absent, older brother - The Motorcycle Boy.

A great performance from Dillon and an awesome soundtrack. find out more...
