My only regret is that I'm not the first person to say Gummo because it means some other poor soul sat through fucking Gummo
Just absolute goddamn garbage.
Gummo is like if that weird, anti-social kid from middle school just shows you a whole bunch fucked up pictures and videos he have saved on his phone and asks you "do you feel challeneged?," without breaking eye contact the entire time.
The movie seems like it's more concerned with speedrunning a checklist of controversial subject matters, stereotypes, social taboos and generally messed up scenarios without actually having anything interesting or noteworthy to say about any of it: Racism? Check. Homophobia? Check. Child Abuse. Check (this was in a completely unrelated vignette and served zero purose in the film). Neo Nazism? Check. Animal Abuse? A lot (don't watch this movie if you like cats. Speaking of which...). A Chinese restaurant that serves said cat corpses. Of course... Underage Crossdressing? Yep. Satanism? Sure. A man pimping out his mentally challenged sister to neighborhood kids? Are you surprised? Pedo picking up and molesting teens in his car? Yup.
It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I'm sure there's other stuff I missed.
I'm not even offended by the movie because it tries so, so hard to be this weird, offensive experimental film that it comes off as the film itself (and its writer-director, by extension) is overcompensating for not having anything else going on.
If anything, I'm offended by how much that coked up idiot Harmony Korine felt like he was making some important, powerful, grandiose point by making this film going by interviews out there where he talks about it. Yes, Harmony, I would have never known about there being overlooked places in this country that's under extreme poverty. You're the first person to point it out. Dumbass.
