Not everyone is going to appreciate the peculiar sense of humor on display here, but Kwan and Scheinert deliver a film that is witty, smart, well-made, pure and most of all unique.
Somewhat better the second time around, without the expectations and the hype bearing on the film. It was easier to enjoy the boundless enthusiasm and the bold confidence of both directors, though I still feel the execution wasn't quite up to par, which keeps the film from becoming a personal favorite. There's also a lot to love though. The film is crammed with crazy ideas, the editing is insane, the level of creativity is mental and the film has a rhythm of its own. As eager as it is to refer to other films, there's nothing really like it and with so many memorable scenes and moments, it's impossible not to fall for its charms.Read all
Scheinert goes solo. Not sure if it's that or if he just wanted to try something different this time around, but the low-key dark humour and the lack of absurd elements makes for a way less spectacular film. It's not bad, decently acted and dark enough for a couple of grim grins, but in the end it's just not all that memorable.
