Originally was going down as a three, but god this film funny.
Honestly not the weirdest film I’ve seen. But to be fair it was pretty strange. I think that the films build up led you to belive nothing was going to happen, and you were just tripping acid. It’s probably one of those films where people will say smoke a joint before watching this. Would make a pretty crazy experience. On the contrary though this may be considered controversial, but I prefer the first half. There was something about that cinematography that was so unhinged yet so despicably beautiful. Again I think that it’s interesting seeing Nicolas Cage do some indie films, I’m glad he’s doing them because he’s doing some unreal acting in these films. Specifically this one, I found his performance to be genuinely hysterical, but also very deranged.
To be frankly honest, I don’t even know what this film is really about with the ending. I understand what was going on through 90% up until the ending. It’s a peculiar ending if you will, and it’s one that I can’t exactly figure out what just happened. From my experience of the ending, I’m just gonna go with it. No questions asked. Because I got to a point where I was just like, whatever the fuck you wanna do film. It feels like such a fever dream, I can’t say I’ve been on acid and never will because drugs are bad. But I assume this is the most realistic feeling of being on acid. I don’t have much more to say about this film, I think that the cinematography is gorgeous and so well done, it’s like a blend of all these different emotions.
