About this Movie
Movie Description
Based on the autobiographical journals of poet Jim Carroll, BASKETBALL DIARIES follows the descent of a Catholic high school student from star basketball player to drug addict. Jim (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his friends roam the streets of New York City as goof-offs, petty thieves, and junkies. Expelled from school for using drugs before a game, Jim is also thrown out of his house and takes up street hustling. A pre-superstardom DiCaprio gives a strong performance in this gritty and uncompromising look at being young and streetwise.

Credits
Cast:Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg
Director:Scott Kalvert

Industry Reviews
"...DiCaprio is electrifying....A wild ride fueled by profane wit and hallucinatory power..."
Rolling Stone - p.127-8 - Peter Travers

USA Today - p.7D - Mike Clark

"...Energetic....A glimpse of the great actor Leonardo DiCaprio is going to be."
Entertainment Weekly - p.39 - Owen Gleiberman

"...[DiCaprio delivers] a game, highly emotional performance that further confirms previous indications of a major talent..."
Variety - Todd McCarthy
