    Funny, absurd, and captivating!

    This is such a great blend of heavily stylized genre parody as well as absurd humor! It reminds me of Tim and Eric Bedtime Stories.

    No spoilers, but for anyone curious this is a collection of short comedic films woven together with psychedelic animation.

    Not only was I laughing throughout the entire film, but there are also beautifully shot moments that are so captivating. It's so refreshing to see this kind of absurd comedy in 2023.

    The film also showcases a large diverse cast of amazing performers that I have never seen before. Kid Cactus is now on my radar for sure! Looking forward to what they have in the works next.

    A Convenient Truth

    If Al Gore was still with us (or is he still with us? Either way) he should do a documentary on this movie because people have to know the truth - that Kid Cactus is amazing. I've never heard of these guys but What is Art is clearly a masterpiece. I've never seen sketch comedy like this before. It has hints of I Think You Should Leave and Tim & Eric, but it's also so different at the same time. I can't get enough and have already watched it twice. The rewatch value is superb.

    I can't wait to see what Kid Cactus does in the future. I will definitely watch anything they make. If you're looking for a quick, hilarious, jaw dropingly surprising comedy, watch this film WHAT IS ART!

    I'm dating myself with this review

    Kid Cactus is the comedy troupe for the Millennial generation the way Monty Python was for the Boomers. 'What is Art' is a compilation of comedy sketches by a funny and talented group of artists and I was blown away by their creativity. The sketches themselves are a mix of both absurdist humor and more traditional observational comedy. There are some truly laugh-out-loud moments, and the film never feels like it's dragging. It's funny, clever, and self-aware. If you're a fan of sketch comedy, then you'll definitely want to check this film out. If you are easily offended don't bother, but I can not wait until the next production!

    What is Art is AMAZING

    Fans of original, off-beat comedy rejoice!

    This movie was a wild ride that I won't soon forget. It's absurd, side-splittingly hilarious, and even weirdly beautiful, cinematic and profound at times. These guys clearly give no Fs. It's so refreshing and makes for a truly unique viewing experience.

    Trying to avoid spoiling... But here are some highlights for me: The performances, the special effects, the animation, THE ENDING!!!

    I laughed, I cried (from laughing so hard) and I questioned the meaning of my existence and the entire Universe. I LOVE this movie and can't wait for what else these guys come up with.

    What a Wonderful Surprise!

    Wow. What a ride. I was completely taken off guard and not ready for what I was about to watch, but I am so happy I did! What is Art is insanely funny, weird, and does not hold back from being silly and over the top in the best way. I was skeptical at first because I had never heard of Kid Cactus, but they have made something here worth watching, if not more than once. They play with genre in such a fresh and unique way, making fun of it but paying homage to it at the same time. It's absurd, but also smart and self aware. If you like I Think You Should Leave or Monty Python, you have to check this out!
