Mikey May Like It But Angelo Loves It

About This Movie

So, 'Mikey May Like It But Angelo Loves It' is one of those films that just throws you into this chaotic whirlwind of late '80s energy. You've got Angelo, this kid who brings us along to meet his, let’s say, adult friends. It’s got this almost voyeuristic vibe. The pacing is relentless, which keeps it almost hypnotic; you never quite know what’s coming next. Practical effects are minimal, but the rawness of the performances really pulls you in. The themes are all about exploration and intimacy, layered with a certain kind of naivety that feels oddly nostalgic. It’s definitely distinctive for what it presents and how it presents it, leaving a kind of imprint that's hard to shake off.

This film is quite a rarity in collector circles, often slipping under the radar due to its unknown director and obscure distribution. Formats are limited, with VHS being the most common, making it a bit of a gem for those who enjoy the more unconventional side of '80s cinema. Interest seems to ebb and flow, but for those in the know, its distinctive approach and unapologetic tone offer a compelling glimpse into the era's underground scene.
