upon second viewing I do wish the events transpiring on screen were easier to distinguish. but this movie is so damn goofy and fun

Haven't seen a movie with such a potent auteur style in quite a while, it has a vivid dream etiquette to it, almost looking like you're watching an early 1930's movie after through teary eyes. While I found the concept more interesting characters, it was style a very emotive experience with lots to take away from.

This movie is so damn fun to watch. I loved it. I was already falling asleep when I started it, and it woke me right up. It’s VERY weird, but I was entertained the entire time because everything that happened was just so creative and funny. And I think it actually had a pretty cool message about embracing sadness.
