Just saw it available on Hulu Plus. Young JGL and Michelle Trachtenberg. Worth two hours of my time?

Abso-fricking-lutely

It has one of the best (and most gut wrenching) endings I have ever seen. Be warned, though, it is a fairly unsettling movie. It is director Gregg Araki's best film, and frankly his only film that I have seen of his that can be considered great.

Everything tiger said.

I actually just watched kaboom a couple weeks ago, and all it did was remind me that it wasnt mysterious skin.

Hell yes. Much better flick than that other skin movie with Antonio Banderas.

I absolutely loved it as well. It is one of my favorite movies from the last decade and my favorite performance from Gordon-Levitt. I actually saw Brady Corbet in Martha Marcy May Marlene a few days ago, another really good but difficult movie.

Couldn't agree more. I don't like any of his other movies, which are nothing like this. I held off on watching this for awhile because I knew he directed. I can't recall a filmmaker with as big of a shift in quality for one film, but he nailed this.
