Highly effective at being affecting. Araki achieves what he sets out to do: follow the life of one person during one day in Los Angeles, with Hollywood stars popping up along the way. The plot was to lead ...nowhere.... because this was a look at disaffected youth and their lives in 1997.
This was Araki's intention. This is where Araki's trilogy led. This is how the movie was advertised. There should have been no confusion as to the content of this movie. The disaffected drug youth culture he was following led ... nowhere.
