A well made film about a group of shallow and unpleasant people.

Very real life related context. Like a lot

In my opinion, the movie uses very good camera and audio visual equipment and the crew members and the filmmakers have played their roles very well. I really liked it.

This is a story of rich college kids that commit suicide. It happens a lot. Who cares!!! A close friend did it; hung for a girl! Actually colleges should care and educate them NOT to do it. “JUST DONT DO IT”. But colleges are useless. They just educate kids to pretend they are rich-but they are not; they are absolute poor souls. Remember that Nancy Reagan campaign against drugs! Another rich bad hobby. Who cares… What is really annoying is that this movie is listed under comedy. It should be under f…g tragedy..

Such an amazing dark film.

One of the most critically under-appreciated films of the 2000's, probably because most people don't see this film for what it truly is: a horror film focused on the bleak isolation and alienation of human existentialism. We can be surrounded by others every moment of every day, but ultimately, we're all trapped within our own minds, and we will never truly know anyone else.

Horrible movie. Plot makes no sense. Waste of time.

The Rules of Attraction is a harsh critique and parody of stupid teen movies, basically smashing them against ground. Lot of peoples misses that the point of this movie is not to show that every stuff visualized here is okay, but it actually says how bad, absurd and disgusting these things actually are, thats why film creates unlikeable characters and unpleasant scenes. Extra credit for amazing camera operation

Rarely has a film been this unpleasant.

This movie is crap. Movie that makes young men think it's okay to let another guy rap a girl that's past out and film it. Because she'll be okay after it. I can't believe these women actors would be apart of this movie. It promotes abusive on women. It SUCKS

i was watching this with my slave and from the very beginning there was just an unnecessary amount rape and honestly they just played it off cool and near the middle i couldn't even tell if it was a joke movie just cause of the amounts of suicide attempts and if you think this is gonna be some cute chick flic u are in for a surprise;))

While the frenetic storytelling style feels occasionally grinding, there is something to adore in this cynical dark comedy about the crazed follies of young relationship

It's really good for what it is: a satire of the sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll culture. The problem is with how is summarized and advertised, and with how it doesn't take into account that people will most definitely be triggered by the violent scenes. A simple trigger warning of the super explicit scenes would have made my experience much better.

Crude, trite, cliche, boring, shallow and pointless. It's all about cheap, pointless sex, as if every college student's like this. Can't believe the things people waste time on. Turned ot off 10 minutes in

It's a perfect reflection of relationships in 2002 - with a diverse, young cast - it isn't moving - or really funny - but an entertaining ride.

Although I am no fan of the rom com, this film had me on alert as it's a unique departure to the usual clichés found in the genre. Once you get past all of the wild camera tricks and visual gimmickry, you arrive at the core of The Rules of Attraction and find out that it's really about something other than replicating the party life at a New England college. Avary's film uncovers an important truth about male/female relationships – that attraction isn't always mutual, and, even when it is, happily-ever-after is frequently not the result. The Rules of Attraction begins at the end, then, after moving forward a little, backs up (literally going backwards), then re-starts, following the actions of a different character. From a visual standpoint, The Rules of Attraction is a busy motion picture. The film is filled with flash edits, scenes played backward, and split screens. At times it works but, on other occasions, it's too much.

Oscar-winning screenwriter of PULP FICTION directs this adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel about the promiscuousness and self-degradation at a liberal arts college with such cocksure dynamism and swimmy infatuation that it seduces with a menacing attraction.

In my humble opinion, this is one of the most underrated movies of all time. Admittedly some of the scenes are over the top,but overall it is one of the truest depictions of Love and relationships. It's not a sappy RomCom. It shows you the darkest parts of relationships yet somehow still leaves you with hope.

Ellis paints another portrait of the lives of shallow, insipid characters. It's hard not to hate all these people, but their intersections seem to ring a little too true, sadly.

All star cast - pretty messed up storyline, quite indie.
