<![CDATA[Beach Rats, any honest thoughts about it?]]>I tried to watch it but I can't stand it.  Slice of life slowness.  Had to fast forward sometimes but then I couldn't continue and had to stop.  I did go see the ending though.

Just to spoil, did the weed guy die?  He got punched and dropped into the sea.  Did he drown?

Also, Frankie only met with… 3 men?

  • guy who topped him on the beach
  • married bartender in a motel
  • oral on the beach

I didn't get to watch his family drama stuff but he met mostly with older men because he's looking for paternal attention?

He didn't really do anything with the other two

  • chatted online in the beginning
  • weed guy which ended badly

So what's the significance of the ending?  He's just watching the fireworks and then what?  I'm annoyed at those kinds of endings.
