Resumen
Basketball Diaries is a gripping drama directed by Scott Kalvert and released in 2010.

Set against the backdrop of 1970s New York City, the movie explores themes of friendship, loyalty, betrayal, and the destructive nature of addiction. While the film has been criticized for its portrayal of gay characters as predatory and its use of stereotypes, it remains a powerful exploration of the harsh realities faced by young people during that time.
