Ebert's "Great Movies" entry on the film makes a lot of the points that are being made in this thread ("Seen today, Rebel Without a Cause plays like a Todd Solondz movie, in which characters with bizarre problems perform a charade of normal behavior"), and is an overall great read: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-rebel-without-a-cause-1955

I think what put me off the film so early was how completely it seemed to be on Jim's side, which I guess was a bold choice at the time, but came across as the filmmakers congratulating themselves on their tolerance and open-mindedness.

I couldn't believe the fatherly advice in a frilly apron scene the first time I saw it. Rebel is more subversive and weird than Johnny Guitar imo
