Ben Stiller’s directorial debut is an irreverent look at the harsh realities of life after college that captures the misadventures of Lelaina (Winona Ryder), an aspiring TV production assistant, and her relationships with her sarcastic roommate, Vickie (Janeane Garofalo), friends Sammy (Steve Zahn) and Troy (Ethan Hawke) and an ambitious video executive, Michael (Stiller). A comedic and cultural touchstone, Reality Bites encapsulated the ennui and existential crises of Generation X like no other.
A note from our Executive and Programming Director Brenda Moe.
February After Hours brings you four films that defined love, friendship, heartbreak, and rebellion. Mixtapes, boomboxes, pirate radio—and first loves that hit like a soundtrack you never forget. Before playlists were algorithms. Before dating was swipes. Coming of age was loud, messy, and gloriously offline. Fall in love. Break the rules. Feel everything. Again.
