Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Did you people see the same film I saw?

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

damn, before watching, i had no clue what to expect, and after watching it, i still don't know what happened. The name is very suiting and everything about the story is insane, its so confusing and amazing. At least for me. The first half of the movie is just like a normal movie, with a few interesting scenes and story lines. but once you get into the 50 minute mark, your mind gets blown and the score you were planning on giving rises from a 6 to a 8, 9 or 10. But if you don't like unique and strange movies (which i don't think a lot of people do, this is truly unique to not like it) your score might drop lower to a 3 or a 4. I saw one review of this movie saying he got too bored after 30 minutes and stopped watching the movie, well i guess he missed the good crazy parts that make this movie so special, unique, bizarre, and in a strange way incredibly good. The simple utter confusion of the movie is what makes this one so special and good. simply a must watch. Be prepared to get confused!

I first learned of Quentin Dupieux when I saw his 2010 absurdist black comedy "Rubber" (about a tire on a killing spree). Now comes "Réalité" ("Reality" in English), about a director who has to find the ideal groan of pain for a proposed movie. At least that's the main plot. Throughout the movie, reality, fiction and dreams keep overlapping so that you're not sure just what is real. David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" is probably the only other movie that messes with your mind this much.This movie won't be for everyone. You have to be willing to accept the repeated shift from apparent reality to fiction, often taking place simultaneously. Assuming that you enjoy a movie that deliberately confuses you, you'll like this one. It's not like anything that you've ever seen.PS: Quentin Dupieux is an electronic musician who goes by Mr. Oizo (a corruption of the French word for bird).

I've watched quite a lot of "mind blowing" movies and the way "Reality" blew my mind is similar only to "The Sea That Thinks", but it has something extra: humour. At the end, when the little girl throws the blue video cassette in the garbage I was laughing so hard and I was thinking "Oh, another classic Dupieux movie!". I was imagining myself giving it 10 stars out of ten but then I discovered that was not really the ending scene, it is followed by other two scenes which, apparently, have no other role than playing with our minds and destroying our cult-vision of Quentin. WTF, now I can't recommend it anymore to any of my pretentious cinephile friends. I really think of editing a copy, cut out those scenes and watch the whole movie again like it supposed to be in my mind. I am aware I sound like those guys who comment on movie sites things like "oooh, why that bad guy doesn't die earlier? the movie would be so much better without him... hey, pixar, what are you thinking? you don't want us to like the movie???"

I saw this film at the Film Fest Ghent 2014, where it was part of the official Competition. Previously, I saw Rubber of the same film maker at the Imagine film festival 2011 in Amsterdam. I wrote a positive review at the time, accepting the fact that I was a minority. Most others could not appreciate the absurd undertone and the almost absent narrative.Recalling my good memories in favor or Rubber, it may be possible that I had expected more of this successor. Nevertheless, it delivers an absurd story you'd expect from this film maker. Compared with Rubber there are less LOL (laughing out loud) moments, however. Instead, we can enjoy a humorous undertone all along the running time, while contradictions and absurdities come along in abundance.It is no use to condense the story in a few lines, not even several paragraphs won't do, still without any chance of getting the absurd message(s) across. Brace yourself, and let this movie come over you. It may change your view on film and film making. On the other hand, I sincerely hope that we do not have to take this backstage view on the film industry seriously.All in all, in spite of (or thanks to) all the controversies this film maker causes, I look forward to more products along the same line. His products are well made, and supported by good actors. That his narratives lack a logical story line, is more like a signature rather than a defect.
