Product Description

On the outskirts of Brooklyn, Frankie, an aimless teenager, suffocates under the oppressive glare cast by his family and a toxic group of delinquent friends. Struggling with his own identity, Frankie begins to scour hookup sites for older men. When his chatting and webcamming intensify, he begins meeting men at a nearby cruising beach while simultaneously entering into a cautious relationship with a young woman. As Frankie struggles to reconcile his competing desires, his decisions leave him hurtling toward irreparable consequences. Eliza Hittman's award-winning Sundance hit is a powerful character study that is as visually stunning as it is evocative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and sad
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2017
Verified Purchase
This was a well written, beautifully shot film about a young closeted addict coping with life. A powerful performance by Dickinson who gives us just the right amount of sex appeal drawing us in by his innocent good looks while seducing us with his sex appeal. The main character here has a father who is dying of cancer, tries being one of the guys in the daytime and at night looks for companionship on gay sites.

I remember when this movie was being advertised to come out and all anyone could talk about was the sex and nudity and there is a fair amount of both but this movie is so strong in performance and tugs on your heart so much the sex just kind of fades in the background.

I feel for this kid and his life and what he is going through... I thought for a second in the end the mom would go ahead and try and find out what he was hiding or maybe on that pier he himself would find something, someone to turn to. What a good movie, and what a lonely ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really well done realistic artistic movie
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2017
Verified Purchase
I really loved this movie and almost didn't watch it based on the other reviews. It's not a typical American type movie with a betiinimg, middle and firm ending. It's just tells the story about a kid living each day coming to terms with his sexuality in a realistic way, macho culture, drugs to get out of their mind and all. It's not a lovey dovey Brokeback Mountain Hollywood movie. Just realistic and good. I usually can't sit through movies and I was mesmerized by this one. If you're expecting a story where a hot kid questions his sexuality, experiments, comes out, meets boyfriend and live happily ever after this film is not for you. If you want to see what it might be like for some people that aren't the typical middle to upper class gay men and what they have to deal with , then this may be more for you. It's complicated like life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Struggling with Beach Rats
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
I have had to struggle with my reactions to Beach Rats. It is possible, of course, to admire something, especially if that something is a work of art, as Beach Rat is, without liking it. The problems for me in the film, I think, are two fold: its repetitiveness and its materialism.

Frankie is nearly the same at the end of the movie as he is at the beginning. The film knows that. At the beginning he is watching fireworks with disdain, distaste, boredom because it is the same show at the same time every week. At the end, the fireworks are exploding again. These explosions are, of course, a standard trope in movies of erotic ecstasy, here reversed into an empty repetition, pointless, unfelt, with no beauty or rapture to it. The only change at film's end is that grief, sorrow, pain have replaced his earlier disdain. But the pointlessness remains.

Frankie in some important way does not change. That is the movie's vision of and for him. He is stuck. So the film bears witness to him but does not allow him a way out. I suspect such a vision is meant to be hard hitting. But I wonder if it isn't, nonetheless, itself stuck some in an imagination which seems to have stopped decades ago. One can talk endlessly about the cultural conditions which determine who Frankie is and why he behaves as he does. But to do so, and only that, would be to take away from him his capacity for self awareness and reflection. It would be to make him someone soulless and utterly determined by the world in which he finds himself.

Perhaps that is so, at least it would seem to be true to the film. What is most troubling about the movie is, however, Frankie's cruelty. His friends are thugs. In nearly every shot of them, that is how the film shows them. But Frankie makes choices, if that is what they can be called, that are crueler than anything they do. The worst of them, of course, is when, for no good reason except to ingratiate himself further with his friends, he entraps a young gay guy he initially wanted to meet for a hook-up. When that turns bad, he pursues it later even further, but surely he must be aware of the danger he puts the young gay guy in, even as he ignores his mother's warnings about the guys he spends much of his time hanging out with. They beat the boy up. Frankie does nothing to stop it, nothing, anyway, that has any effect or might reveal himself. Later, Frankie grieves in his way, contemplateing the ocean, the beach, where the beating occurred. But he has left the guy behind, helpless, alone, and hurt. Who knows what has happened to him? Sorrow, regret come to him too late.

It is hard to sustain sympathy for such a character. At least it is for me. It is hard to know, at movie's end, how much of his pain is merely self-pity, perhaps all of it, perhaps none. After the movie was over, though, I felt more for the young gay guy's hurt–there is a sweetness to him that no one else in the film even approaches–than I did for Frankie's. It is hard to say. But Frankie's self-entrapment by his refusal, no, by the impossibility that the film posits that he can do anything but refuse to say or admit who he is has made him cruel.

That is what I mean by referring to the movie's materialism. Frankie would seem to be a fated being. Think of a much greater, deeper movie like Moonlight, so similar to Beach Rats in many respects, in which something, at the end, redemptive happens, both by an effort of the main character's own will and need and by another's love. The terrible hardness of life need not be its only meaning, need not be all of life. Or consider one of the best gay-themed films ever made, with apologies to it for the over-limitation that phrase suggests: God's Own Country. If anything, the life Johnny leads in that movie is even more oppressive than the one Frankie finds himself in. But God's Own Country is not mired by a materialism that defines everything. It allows for grace, not in any sectarian sense, but in the grace that can be found through love and compassion. Or for one more example I'd suggest Edouard Louis' memoir/novel The Education of Eddy in which Eddy is redeemed or freed from such a world, a world mired in poverty and meaninglessness, not despite his being gay but because of it.

A movie, no work of art, should be judged first or even most importantly by what it fails to do. Its own vision must be respected and accepted, at least while one is viewing or trying to understand it. In its own terms, Beach Rats is a strong, in its own way even powerful film. But it is those terms I am questioning. It is possible to imagine that Frankie has reached so great a moment in his life's suffering that his suffering might change him. But the film does not say so, does not, I sense, even suggest that. His suffering, so it feels to me, consumes itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visceral
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018

To be brief: there are few films I've seen in the past couple years that operate at such an affective level, or that successfully subordinate their forward momentum to crucial moments of impulse, desire, and compulsion. I anxiously await Eliza Hittman's next film.

A general note, specifically relevant to those who might stream it: having seen Beach Rats both in a movie theater and on a television, it became clear how much the film demands a large screen and substantial sound. Don't even consider watching this on anything smaller than the biggest television you have access to.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Dull Portrait of a Loser
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
Some of the acting is pretty good, especially the mother and the little sister. But the story of being trapped in the economic and emotional backwater of Coney Island, so near to the allure of freedom and opportunity that "could be" of Manhattan just never works itself through to anything. Does the lead stay trapped, due to his own doubts? By the end, you don't really care. He does nothing. And that, in a way, is the definition of a loser -- doing nothing. And, I'm sorry, but the guy is a total knockout - even simply in the world of gay cybersex, he could certainly see that he had something that could get him out of deadsville -- in a number of different ways.

Sorry I sat through this. Although Harris Dickinson does a great job with some very mediocre writing and directing.

Reminiscent of growing up and attracted to guys was the worst secret to keep. The clandestine late night hook-ups which were dangerous in more ways than one. This movie does a great job of making the uneasiness of being homosexual and having straight friends. Spot on Harris Dickinson.

This is a slow moving drama but it never is boring. It's almost like watching part of a person's life on home video. Highest praises to the actors for such real portrayals of everyday people in an ordinary world. My review may be boring, but I don't want to give much away. It's the story of a young man in New York/ New Jersey (?) who is questioning his sexuality. It's real life, not movie drama.
