strange and entertaining
Well made arty thriller film, left me thinking about what I watched again well done shudder!
What was that? A bit disappointing because it gives the appearance of a good interesting triller or mystery but I can’t even define what that was, definitely weird and unique indi but not for shudder in my opinion
Is not a horror.. it’s weird.. but probs not for Shudder
This one required me to sit back and really absorb everything I saw in this movie. I think MatthewDarkly reviewed it best, pointing out the overtly Kafkaesque imagery that this film instilled. It was a very interesting take on the 2008 financial crisis, pulling in news and media clips as it was happening. Beau Knapp's did an excellent job capturing the essence of a very successful genius, who's obviously on the spectrum, and showing how his beautiful mind works, in all it's confusion, evolution, obsession, and degeneration. I thought the rest of the cast did an excellent job of representing very different motives than Richard, in a varity of ways. The special effects were beautifully done. The whole movie left you feeling like you were caught in a very weird whirlwind of awe, confusion, pity, sorrow, and even disgust. Plus as KimedyTragedy pointed out, "I'm itchy." Side note, (with a spoiler:) the most terrifying moment in the whole movie was when the kitten disappeared into the back with all of the mosquitoes. That was some John Wick level horror for me. And the most audible sigh of relief when we eventually saw that the kitten was okay.
