Harmony Korine’s filmography has been characterized bythemes of found family, social alienation, and dysfunctional relationships.

The film is much less abrasive than some of Korine’s most (in)famous films.

In between street performances, he smokes cigarettes and counts his meager earnings.

This is followed by Marilyn asking Michael togo back with her to her commune of fellow impersonators.

Its sincere, but the result is comically stiff.
