Off Ramp

When the film ends at the Gathering, Silas about to get on stage with his chosen family at his side, more than a few audience members might find themselves newly down with the clown.

Where does one even begin to discuss the Juggalo?


The film succeeds mainly because it’s about an extremely specific subculture and gets that subculture right.

If you’re a Juggalo you’re probably going to see your next favorite film, if you’re not a fan, you about to witness a downright masterful exploration of a misunderstood subculture onscreen. 


Part hilariously raunchy buddy comedy, explosive road trip thriller, and remarkably poignant drama, “Off Ramp” is all heart. It will leave you feeling like a better person, perhaps eager to adopt a bit of Juggalo philosophy into your own life.  

This is a film that’s drenched in specificity ... It’s never not enjoyable. Things get dark, and through it all, Silas and Trey lean on one another for support in a way that’s genuinely touching. There are moments of real, quiet beauty to be found here.

There’s gold found in the interactions between the strangers and neighbors and enemies and lovers that populate the story. That human spark and relatability amid Mississippi dumps and macabre beauty gives life to Off Ramp. All of its life.

An equally odd and beautiful movie, and the juggalos wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s upsetting just so that it can be more wholesome. ... All that makes Off Ramp feel like an invitation to join the family, more than just a movie.

For all the filth, it’s ultimately a heartwarming movie about misfits and outcasts who have found a community they can call their own. You’d never imagine a Juggalo movie could be this sweet.

Part buddy comedy, part horror-thriller, part clown show. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.
