I think Harmony Korine would be proud.> Closer to a 4 than a 3Harmony Korine is an interesting director because I constantly wonder if he's a genius or a giant hack who puts random stuff in his movies because, to quote Shia Lebouf: "JUST DO IT!" I don't know, but I always find his movies interesting, and Julien Donkey-Boy is definitely no exception. There are parts of me that love this, and parts of me that don't. It is definitely something to get used to, but once that phone scene happened, I was fully on board. This is a fairly investing, devastating, and unnerving little movie. I felt like I was watching something that I shouldn't be. Some parts were genuinely beautiful, and others made me look away from the screen because of their sheer audacity and realism. Parts of this go on too long, some parts I wish I could be in, but all of that I wouldn't change. This is a unique movie, and I can't imagine it being anything else. The Dogme 95 movement is so interesting, and it lends to the family home movie feel that makes this movie easy to side with. Ewan Bremner is seriously underrated, and Chloe Sevigny is just as great as always. I will definitely watch this again, but I certainly won't enjoy it.
