Reality Bites (1994), directed by Ben Stiller, is one of the defining Gen-X films of the 1990s — a post-college coming-of-age story about friendship, love, and creative frustration in the shadow of corporate America. Starring Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Ben Stiller, and Janeane Garofalo, the film captures the push-and-pull between sincerity and irony, art and commerce, idealism and compromise — all backed by a now-iconic 90s alt-rock soundtrack.
