Mosquito State

People are strange, when you're a stranger..

I liked the visual styling, but focused too much on mood and too little on why I should care. Shallow, boring.

I was lost from beginning to end. It was interesting to watch because it is very bizarre, but ultimately I didn't get any of the symbolism, I didn't understand what was happening, and by the end I didn't much care.

As several critics had described it as horror I thought I'd give it a go. But no. This is an absolutely bland film that goes nowhere. It was more focused on economics and wine than anything remotely interesting.

...But it was not!

Acting, direction, art concept, script (...to a certain point!) were all fine.

Then it all derailed catastrophically into nothing.

In the end, a sour taste of a fine wine that was bottled in a second hand plastic bottle found lying around...

Mosquito State is a very interesting movie on paper. A cronenburg-esque body horror flick that ties in with the 2007 economic crysis. All the technical aspects of the movie are terrific.

The movie has beautiful cinematography and great music and sound design. Unfortunately the movie falls apart in the story aspect. Beau Knapp plays his role far to cartoonishly to be taken seriously but also doesn't bring a lot of charisma either. He does fine when sulking around his apartment but fails when it comes to interacting with the other actors. The biggest problem with movie is that it's overall it's not very interesting.

I will clarify again that movie is beautiful looking but all the creepy mosquito shots and market crash metaphors can't make up for a Boeing main character who you spend the whole movie with.
