My Own Private Idaho review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 03/07/12

Mike (River Phoenix), a gay street hustler meets Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves). It’s hilarious how people talk here, as if in a Shakespearean play. The characters were unlikable and over the top while the plot seems to be all over the place. The screenplay was interesting with quotes repeated from the film - “Don’t worry, everything’s going to be alright.” and “Jesus, the things we’ve seen.” Cinematography was impressive though the soundtrack was almost non-existent. The performance of River Phoenix was astounding which was noticeable with the various accolades he received. My Own Private Idaho has its highlights and low-lights, which for this reviewer cancels out.
