Plot
[edit]A teenage outcast road movie, Jimmy and Judy follows a pair of outsiders who fall in love and out of control as they travel across an American landscape dotted with hypocrisy, materialism, drugs and violence.[2]
The film focuses on themes such as adolescent rebellion, love, and anger. Jimmy and Judy are modern-day Bonnie and Clyde: destructive young lovers who leave the comfort of their suburban community in rural Kentucky in search of a better life.[5]
