not all of the skits are great, but the ones that are...

Rating: 8/10 (8 February 2017)

..are SPECTACULAR! There's some fantastic dialogue, performances, and cinematography displayed all throughout this fascinating semi-experimental comedy. This adventure through the strange mind of genius indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch is a star studded, minimalist near- masterpiece full of fun and humor. However, not every skit is all too good, and at times the performers act a little too silly and funny-if certain actors played their scenes more straight and deadpan, the scenes would have come out much funnier.
However, the goods definitely outweigh the bads here. This is a movie I would highly recommend for most people who enjoy slower, more dialogue heavy films, because I'm sure they'll get quite a few laughs out of this little movie. Some of the best segments are "Strange to Meet You" starring Steven Wright and Roberto Benigni, which is sort of odd and also hilarious, "Cousins" starring Cate Blanchett (who is great and brilliantly plays two very different characters at once), "Cousins?" (different than "Cousins", note the QUESTION MARK), starring Steve Coogan and Alfred Molina, which provides a wonderfully subtle sense of humor to the film, "Delirium" starring musicians GZA and RZA, as well as comedian/actor Bill Murray, which admittedly could have been a little better but is still great and funny as hell, and the final segment, which is "Champagne, starring William Rice and Andy Warhol superstar Taylor Mead, who does a brilliantly strange job at , basically, playing himself, which is the most odd, poetic little scene in the whole movie.
