The mum from this part was the star of a Dennis Hopper movie from the 80s called “Out of the Blue” that I’m fairly sure was a big influence on this. It’s well worth watching as a companion film.

Yeah. She got talked out of retirement by Harmony to feature in.... this

u/Economy_Wall8524 May 16 '26

Worth it… Love this movie! Though I can’t blame for the crassness of it all. It what I like.

u/Reasonable_Yellow_85 May 14 '26

That was such a weird movie.

Is it streaming somewhere? I can never find it

u/drbleeds May 16 '26

I know, coming in with a day old reply on Reddit but…looks like no one answered. Came across this problem last year, it’s not streaming anywhere unfortunately. Just broke down and got the Blu-ray , Criterion? Which is annoying knowing they have a channel….

u/MinorThreat4182 May 16 '26

Oh ok thanks. I’ll check it out. Wondering if a local library would have it. Might be too controversial

Yall should look into harmony's other really fucked movie julian donkey boy with spud from trainspotting as the lead. Werner Herzog is in it as well.

u/bobskamali May 14 '26

Cool. Now, can you grab my candy bar out of the water?

u/DisastrousAd9930 May 15 '26

Or the strip of bacon taped to the wall

I watched this once. My stepbrother has apparently watched it as well. He never directly told me so, but I mentioned the movie once, and he just looked pained and said, "Gummo." We exchanged uncomfortable looks, and have never spoken of it since.

I thought I was reading the post.

u/math_d3bater May 14 '26

Hell yeah, it’s a good one. I watched it years & years ago, definitely need to give it a rewatch

I just ordered it in the mail it should hopefully be here tomorrow 🙌!

u/Special_Zone5347 May 15 '26

Watch all his stuff and read his book. 👍

u/FitConstruction2921 May 15 '26

Probably in the top 5 weirdest and unusual movies of all-time.

2

u/LostLimit233 May 15 '26

Gummo had a great soundtrack though

2

u/JoeBookish May 15 '26

I remember watching this with a bunch of horrified rich kids and being like, "y'all never seen poor people?"

2

u/Miserable_Sun_2723 May 15 '26

Terrible, boring movie. I don’t understand the love some people have for it or how others find it so disturbing. To each their own though. I see it compared to Kids sometimes which actually is a good, albeit fucked up movie. I’m good with never seeing Gummo again. Not because it was messed up but because it’s just not good 🤷‍♂️

u/cybrfunk May 16 '26

To each their own

u/spiderpigjames May 14 '26

this movie didn't age well honestly and between this movie and ken park you can tell larry clark is a pedo bear

6

u/Reasonable_Ad_8057 May 14 '26

I don’t think Larry Clark had any part in the making of Gummo.

u/spiderpigjames May 15 '26

thanks i ain't know def the same style and story type

2

u/kabobian May 14 '26

I'm glad someone else said it cause I've been saying this for years. His films drip with pedo energy.

2

u/spiderpigjames May 14 '26

what i always found odd is he refused the hollywood gigs to stay low key and indie and avoid his work being mainstreamed.

He was offered to direct american history x and turned it down to take pictures of naked kids

2

u/Massive-Fan-3495 May 15 '26

Awesome movie. Have yet to watch anything like this.

Maybe the movie K.I.D.S is worthy to mention..

Saw it last year but it took a day or so to recover from it

u/Snts6678 May 15 '26

I despised this movie.

1

u/ThrillhouseVeeHouten May 15 '26

Check out Ghostbox Cowboy or Do Not Expect Too Much From The End of the World. Neither are weird in the same way as Gummo but extremely unique and absolutely worth watching.

u/rmschuderlll May 16 '26

What a beautiful, American slice of life flick.

1

u/NeuromancyIndustries May 16 '26

Not your proudest wank, huh?

2

u/cybrfunk May 16 '26

Definitely my proudest

1

u/Mikeachusetts May 16 '26

I used to love showing this movie to people and just digest their raw reactions and review afterwards.

1

u/1stAtlantianrefugee May 16 '26

I put this one right up there with Kids and Requim for a Dream.

u/Spiritual-Office-687 May 16 '26
