Too much of everything
How sad is this?
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The acting in this movie is really good.
If Spike Jonze and David Chronenberg had a drunken one-night-stand that resulted in a miscarried pregnancy, the final product would look something like this movie. Being really strange doesn't equate to cleverness. If there was meant to be some kind of metaphor or deep commentary, it was lost in the ridiculousness.
This is the question you'll be asking yourself before you even leave the theater. The absurdity and the outright craziness this film reaches is neither enjoyable nor comfortable. The humorous sci-fi horror leaves you questioning throughout the second half of the film. Once the horrendous horse people are established, the film takes a sharp turn from a unique, seemingly well established comedy to a darkly odd, and extremely peculiar narrative. I will say your engagement and attention to the film never falls short, due to the insane and slightly deranged plot line. But the true interest will most likely leave before you can finish your popcorn. Enjoyed the acting all around, but there probably wasn't a single person cast who didn't question their desire to be a part of this. I know I would have, despite definitely still working on the project.
I had a thought after seeing Blindspotting and this that they share a similarity in turning to fantastic realism to speak to our moment of social ills like racism and capitalism... in the US... in Oakland. There's a surreal absurdity teasing out relations of inequality that is more compelling and brutally honest than the evening news these days. These is new protest film.
Awesome satire movie, some moments i feel i was watching a Atlanta episode, others black mirror and ended up being a twilight zone episode! there is a lot of dark humor over here, is a thinking pay attention movie to catch a lot of the jokes. if you like weird movies you should watch this one for sure!
