It felt like this film stole $9.99 from me.
What seemed like a fun claymation film turned out to be a poopy mess of a plot. A really useless film, the only thing good about it is the claymation, it’s refreshing compared to other films that I’ve watched so far. But that only goes for the animation style, not with the plot or anything else.
The plot, I can’t even describe one. Not even Letterboxd put a description of the film on here. I understand that the whole thing is inspired by a couple short stories, but this just felt very convoluted with every scene that it was just bleh. At some points it felt like air was being taken from me. Some points I was just on my phone during it, and I feel like an asshole whenever I do that to a film but this thing couldn’t keep me retained. I don’t have a rotted brain nor low attention span, I could watch a 3 hour film if ANY OF IT MAKES SENSE.
Too many instances of nude claymation people, like too many. I saw so much more ass in this film than I have in any other film I’ve watched so far this year, and it wasn’t even real buttcheeks, just sagging clay cheeks. I know I sound like a Gooner for that complaint but I don’t mean it to sound like that, I’m just saying if you’re gonna have ass be animated, don’t just make it uncomfortable to look at like it’s a wound in the process of healing.
I also kinda liked how all the small stories connected to each other sort of. But that enjoyment was dumbed down due to the fact that I couldn’t connect or be fully entertained by any of the individual stories that were being told. Nothing characters in a nothing salad. Sadder that a legit salad.
Live, laugh, love…the opening scene. Thinking about it, it’s probably the best “plot-based” sequence and I really wish that the rest of the film was like it. The opening should set the tone for the film, not just be something totally different. Also…HAPPY END OF FEBRUARY!! But not a fantastic end to this month of film, a very anticlimactic and dull end.
