McAvoy is great and probably the best part. But the changes made to the script are all detrimental to the story. Watch the original over this version. Unless you prefer the more generic version of the story. The third act simply does not work. In fact it also undermines the slow burn of the first act.

The original version was surprising and in predictable, but this reeks of the typical Americanisation of a European work: more simple, more predictable, and unwilling to go to the extremes of human emotion. The original version pushes the audience to extreme reactions, and therefore might not be for the weak hearted. But this one simply has no impact. The ending of the original may linger with you for a long time.

This film can be funny, scary, disturbing, horrible and sad from one split moment to the next. The stream of conciousness style, and deliberately chaotic visuals and sound are crafted to create the unease of a mind losing control. The movie breaks meta boundaries and if youre paying attention even the art style is explained. We are in the mind of the protagonist, and for the short hour long length we cannot escape. Personally I've not seen a movie that captures the humanity of us so well.

If you want movie about human nature and life, give this a shot. Even if you have a slight philosophical or intoverted view on do give this a try. But be warned it can be triggering for those suffering from mental illness.

Brilliant.

Love the writing on this. Completely off the wall and unpredictable. It's quite refreshing considering how generic everything has become. As you watch episode to episode you end up wondering how the crayon came up with some of the scenarios, and one really doesn't know what's going to happen next.

It's not for everyone as the humour is very dark, and there's a lot of gross out violence. But if you can deal with that, and love interesting writing you'll really love this. Plus the short episodes really make the entire thing binge worthy.
