This post-Tarantino slice of LA lowlife certainly takes its cues from the structure and buzz of The Big Q but rejects his old movie/TV/pulp world for something approaching reality. Or reality as experienced by young, fringy, poor, fun-seeking Los Angelinos, anyway.
Like Pulp Fiction, Go strings three separate stories on a narrative thread, but it does a neater job of meshing them together. Three sets of characters live through the same night, colliding at specific junctures, and each story comes with a punchline that slingshots into a coda, tying everything off neatly as the survivors stagger dazed into the dawn.
The amorality over drugs and sex is pleasingly realistic, and although they're indulged in with catastrophic consequences (while having a stoned threesome, Simon and some bridesmaids ignore a Hotel fire they've started), the attractions are still not seen as evil in themselves. There are also several great comedy sequences, notably party guy Mannie (Nathan Bexton) who on too much E has a subtitled conversation with the dealer's cat which segues from light banter to sheer Horror ("You're going to die!"). Also clever are the multiple meanings wrung from the title, in the spirit of which, you're strongly urged to go see it.
