There's a party every day, a movie every night, and all the junk food you can eat. What more can a kid want... except to get out.

Starts by ticking you into thinking it's going to be one of the 47 million Mad Max rip offs that was released around the same time, but quickly takes a left turn into "poignant social commentary". Keeps the punks though, so that's cool. Final rating:★★★ - I personally recommend you give it a go.
