Synopsis
SubUrbia centers on a group of bored, aimless, post-high-school kids who spend an inordinate amount of time hanging out in the parking lot of a local convenience store. It all takes place over a single night, when a fellow classmate by the name of Pony (Jayce Bartok), who has become a hot pop star since graduation, returns with his limo and his publicist (Parker Posey) to do a little slumming in his hometown.

Critics' reviews
- "Linklater gets great performances from his young cast, and you'll find yourself thinking about the characters and their travails well after the movie's finish."
- "With each succeeding picture, Linklater seemed to grow as a filmmaker, just as his characters became more defined and developed. But with his fourth picture, subUrbia, he takes two giant steps backward."
- "'SubUrbia' is about 95% dialogue, some of which is clever, but much of which is pointless."
- "A long, dark night o' slacker despair, courtesy of Richard Linklater and self-important blowhard Eric Bogosian."
- "It has a tendency to drift aimlessly and, having said all there is to say on the subject long before the two hours are up, loiters around when it really ought to have gone to bed."
