About this movie

On the outskirts of Brooklyn, Frankie, an aimless teenager, suffocates under the oppressive glare cast by his family and a toxic group of delinquent friends. Struggling with his own identity, Frankie begins to scour hookup sites for older men. When his chatting and webcamming intensify, he begins meeting men at a nearby cruising beach while simultaneously entering into a cautious relationship with a young woman. As Frankie struggles to reconcile his competing desires, his decisions leave him hurtling toward irreparable consequences. Eliza Hittman's award-winning Sundance hit is a powerful character study that is as visually stunning as it is evocative. - ( Original Title - Beach Rats )

Brooklyn beach stud abuses his would be girlfriend and spends his late nights hooking up with older guys. Some great sex scenes and the star Harris Dickinson is hot eye candy. Acting is first class. A certain level of maturation is necessary to appreciate this flick and from some of the negative reviews I have read immature juveniles should stick to the latest Marvel garbage and avoid movies that reflect reality.

I think this movie should get a negative rating because while I'm 23 and an "adult" I couldn't keep my 6 year old sister from seeing the in appropriate parts and therefore think the movie should suffer cause I'm a HORRIBLE BABYSITTER. UNBELIEVABLE you would even write such a dumbass review. Grow up and think then speak you only make yourself look and sound like an idiot!!

Ratings or no ratings, common sense should tell any adult, this movie is not fit for a 6 year old, or any other young minor. Don"t blame the movie for poor personal judgement. You should never not rely on others to decide what is appropriate and inappropriate viewing material. Watch the preview. Read what it is about. The plot alone, should tell you it is inappropriate for young children.
