This is a hard movie to watch, but ultimately rewarding. My favorite scenes involved Robert Forster as Billy's father, Patricia Kalember as his mother and Sammi Hanratty as his adorable little sister Barbie.
But Stan's creepy behavior is worth seeing too, I suppose. Toward the end we finally get a payoff, along with a mystery that never quite gets resolved.
It takes a while, but it's finally clear to me who is going off the deep end, not who I thought. Some of the scenes have audio that sounds like it's coming from inside a trash can, and other visual or sound techniques that make it clear someone is not in his right mind.
One of the better performances comes from an actress with a brief scene at the college Alice attends in Ohio.
It's not clear half the time what Stan and Billy are talking about at one point since half the words had to be bleeped for broadcast TV.
Is it any good? I suppose. It's not really my kind of movie.
