Four Letter Words (also known as Climax) is a 2000 American comedy film written and directed by Sean Baker in his directorial debut.[2][3]
Plot
[edit | edit source]A study of the post-adolescent male psyche, the film gives an often humorous but raw unadulterated look at the views, attitudes, and language of young men in the suburban U.S.
Production
[edit | edit source]Some scenes were filmed in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.[4]
Reception
[edit | edit source]Four Letter Words screened at the SXSW Film Festival in 2001.[5]
DVD Talk stated "Although Baker shows a pretty good ear for dialog and a willingness to keep things lively in the editing room, and despite the best efforts of a quality cast, the movie never quite inspires. A bunch of guys standing around a garage talking about porn stars or bong hits may feel important to the filmmaker and might find a cult audience but the filmmaker would be better served finding a more original outlet for his storytelling talents. Still, fans of ultra-indie films might want to give this one a shot. It's got some good qualities and some nice performances."[2]
