susan seidelman seem to have have a decent career with a few top notch credit under her belt . i be certainly glad she bounce back from this film which seem to have it admirer . i be not one of them . i have see well act in high school play than i do in smithereens . the plot such a it be involve young susan berman who be ambitious to make it in the world of music and be willing to do just about anything to get there . she even reject the sincere advance of a young artist who be live out of his van off the east river play by brad rijn . young mr. rijn contribute the bad performance in the film and in fact one of the bad act job i have see in a long time . no wonder he not go anywhere . i will say that seidelman eye for the camera be a good one in capture the familiar east village location where the film be mostly shot . but her work with her live performer do not measure up . i be not sure she have that much raw material to work with . look fast and you will see a very young christopher noth before law and order and sex in the city a a street hustler . if you like punk rock and you might sit through this for the soundtrack . i will stick to bing crosby .
