A visually stunning movie which is gayer than you think it is

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2015)

Something that surprises me pretty consistently is how popular this movie is among heterosexual dudebro types. It's not that I don't respect their ability to recognize a good movie, you know, sometimes, but usually they pick something a little less... homoerotic. And if this movie is anything, it's homoerotic.
That said! This movie is visually stunning with an incredible and memorable soundtrack. The editing and cinematography work well together to create a full picture that is haunting, and nihilistic without being overbearingly so as other movies tend to unfortunately sway into. It managed to maintain a sallow overall coloring but used enough vivid color to emphasize just enough (the soap and the human fat, which are both florescent shades are good examples of this)that the otherwise toned down coloring doesn't become boring.
It possess emotional depth which manages to stick with you after you watch it, and fulfills my ultimate requirement of "Say Something" movies in that it posses questions for the viewer to ponder but, at least in my opinion, doesn't really give you the answer to them.
Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter all give impressive performances and I maintain that this is one of Brad Pitt's better performances by far.
Also did I mention that this movie is like really gay because. It's really gay you guys. The fact that it's really gay makes it a better movie. It's so gay it pains me.
Overall my only complaints are that sometimes the character writing for Marla could get a little cringe worthy and borderline misogynistic in my humble opinion and the story could get a little clunky in parts toward the end of the 2nd act/beginning of the 3rd, but otherwise, very very good movie.
