Strawberry Mansion

Give it a try, it's better than half the movies coming out in cinema these days, I wish this had show at my local Cinemas. Decent acting and good comedy.

Strawberry Mansion is a film you don't see as much of.

In the vein of Gondry's films like Science of Sleep or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Strawberry Mansion is utterly charming, using everything from a dreamy score, stop motion and great prop and set design to tell a heartwarming tale of love and dreams.

Do you like your movies a bit odd and maybe a little rough around the edges? This is your jam, right here. One of those films that's full of heart and eccentricity, light on telling you exactly what to think about it. I love the retro futurist look, super indie but very charming. Acting isn't bad, either, and fits with the aesthetic.

This movie reminded me of an episode of The Mighty boosh, if directed by Wes Anderson.

The main character in this movie, I thought was Julian Barrett Howard moon in the Mighty Boosh but it turns out it just looks a lot like him.

I enjoy The Whimsy and creativity of the film, that's what I most will take away. But I don't like was the style of surreal acting, it was very reminiscent of the movie the room with Tommy Wiseau-- just not my cup of tea.

This movie demonstrates creativity on a shoestring budget, a cool concept, but something overall was lacking. It just doesn't have the emotional connection or wow factor of a Wizard of Oz or a Pan's Labyrinth.

If anything, this movie will inspire writers and low budget directors to challenge themselves making a cool concept, low budget film.

The greatest surrealist love story since Brazil.

This film takes you on a chaoticly beautiful journey through a fantastical dreamscape that leaves you mesmerized and pondering throughout the entire feature. This movie is quirky, odd, funny, imaginative and above all hopeful. If you have the ability to embrace the abstract and bizarre you will love the journey that it takes you on.

The writing/directing duo of Kentucker Audley and Albert Birney manage to navigate through dreams in an unpretentiously fun manner without sacrificing the narrative (too much).

Watch this weirdness and know beauty.
