Loses its edge about 40 minutes through

Rating: 3/10 (16 December 2016)

Overall sh*t movie. I don't usually think movies with a two hour run time are too long but for this movie... far, far too long. It's initially kind of interesting but after about half an hour it feels like it has already said everything it has to say, however, it continues to go on for another hour and a half. Its absurd but nonetheless dull style just drags on and on, having lost all its initial intrigue and shock value. Sure it makes social commentary, but its almost like that is all that it does, there is no real story arc (at least not one with the slightest bit of entertainment value) and a movie couldn't make you care less about its characters. The visuals are decent but like most aspects of the film pretty drab, which would be OK if there were some other aspects to raise the films entertainment value but the dreary aesthetic ends up just adding to the boringness of the movie. If you are not into artsy fartsy abstract film festival type movies stay away from this title. While some might say this film is "bold and brash" I would say its "more like belongs in the trash". If you want a film that makes social commentary but is presented in a more digestible package watch Shrek.
