I remember seeing this film as a child and it was pure magic. Even at my young age it became the first film I truly fell in love with. Using the description of magic does not do this film justice. While the fashion and styling might be outdated, they don't overshadow the genuine portrayal of friendships, the quirks of inner city life, and raw emotions in this film are amazing. The performances from the cast are outstanding. I love that Criterion gave this film life with a new audience. Having this film as part of my physical collection is a blessing.
