This movie seemed like a black-and-white deranged version of Napoleon Dynamite. It was engaging but extremely slow and even the parts that were supposed to make you feel uncomfortable sort of just made you giggle at the absurdity of it. I cannot say that this movie was well written or even well acted. I'm not sure what the other reviewer saw that I missed.

I just watched this at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal, and can I just say, I am in love with this film. I feel so lucky to have been one of the first people to see it because it is truly jaw-dropping. The amazing story, humor, and breathtaking script keep you engaged, laughing, and at the edge of your seat. The whole audience was loving this film at Fantasia, clapping, laughing, and in shock/joy to a sold out theatre. It is really a amazing wild ride of a film that you will not regret watching. The acting by the whole cast is unbelievable. This film really is a unique gem that I pray will be seen by everyone. I have no doubt in my mind that this film will go places, and Mark will have an amazing career if he chooses to keep tapping into and developing his creative voice, tone, and style. It is truly outstanding, one of the best films I have seen in years. I am in awe of how much I love it. I really feel like many stars are going to be born from this film.

Please if you have the chance to see it- go see it you will not regret it.
