Across fifteen jagged episodes, TOTALLY F***ED UP follows a group of queer, disaffected Los Angeles teenagers who form a fragile chosen family while facing desire, heartbreak, rejection and alienation. The first film in Gregg Araki’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy is a punk, deadpan and defiantly queer answer to the 1980s teen movie.

Rialto Recommends TOTALLY F***ED UP is raw, restless and proudly abrasive - Gregg Araki capturing queer youth with punk fury and bruised tenderness. Shot through with nihilism, deadpan wit and outsider energy, it is both a time capsule of early 1990s alienation and a still-vital cry against homophobia, moral panic and the loneliness of growing up unseen.
