100Those with the stomach to sit through Decline will be rewarded with a lively, masterful documentary.

80Best and most touching when it shows how willing punk is to eat its young.

80With her unblinking but nonjudgmental eye, Spheeris doesn't shy away from the horrifying, at times violent messes these kids make of their lives, but she is always sensitive to the pain behind everything, to the unhappy futility of squandered potential.
