- Rob and Laura are predicted not to reunite or last once Marie DeSalle and the Chicago Reader mixtape surface.
- The Hulu series is called better than the movie and its cancellation is condemned.
- The film is described as a crucial moment in Rob’s life that still gives him too little time to complete a credible journey.
- Laura is said not to have returned despite the film giving her more point of view than the book.
- “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is called bad and overrated, with the criticism expanding to grunge’s authenticity.
- The movie’s soundtrack is called insufficiently strong and too dependent on deep cuts.
- The absence of the Smashing Pumpkins from a Chicago music movie set in 2000 is criticized.
