A welcome change to the coming-of-age feel-good movie, R.H.R.N. explores the darker side of the journey to adulthood. It's a compelling moral tale of how self-absorption leads to self-destruction, with extraordinary performances from an amazing ensemble cast.
When a gang of old mates band together to save a suicidal friend, they spirit him away to a beach house to distract him with good times and anarchic fun. But when the fun descends into binges of drugs and booze, their privileged little world spirals horribly out-of-control. It makes for utterly compelling, sometimes difficult viewing as we witness events inexorably unfold to their terrible conclusion. You can't help wondering if this actually happened to someone - it feels so true.
This slice-of-life on the dark side is brilliant and riveting.
A must-see.
