Their challenges exemplify some of the career and lifestyle choices faced by Generation X.

Critics highlighted the performances of Ryder, Hawke and Garofalo in particular.^[4][5] However, it has since achieved cult status and has been singled out as one of the films that captured the zeitgeist of the early 1990s grunge scene among twenty-somethings, while also bringing attention to various issues that plagued young Americans at the time.
