Seeing Ashton Kutcher, in role we are not used to seeing him in, I went in thinking that it may be very mainstream and very boring. Yet Kutcher puts on a performance worth watching. The special effects were great, and it's short running time had the movie end on a time where the audience wasn't left bored or anticipating.
I heard the script was up for option for almost 5 years, and was told it was too dark to make into a movie. This is what swayed my opinion before walking in.
I would say, one of the better films to come out in the past couple of months. If you haven't seen it, please check it out. You'll find this film surprisingly good, I promise it.

I would have to disagree, I don't believe it is like Stan Brakhage what so ever. The Kuchar Brothers had a great impact on cinema in the 1960's, and "HOLD ME WHILE I'M NAKED" was a great success in the avant-garde film department. The film is magnicicent in it's own sense. It has all of the elements which make a perfect movie. Cinematography is terrific, and the dialouge is great. What makes this film extra special is the fact that George Kuchar, went back over and recorded his voice, as everyone's. One of the greatest avant-garde filmmakers of our time, i would have to say, but the line between Brakhage is big enough to jump over. In my opinion, if yuo are an aspiring filmmaker, see this film. Don't just watch it once, but several times. It holds more than what is in the frame.
If anyone tells you that this movie is boring, you won't enjoy it, you don't get it, then this person doesn't know the first thing about film. For a film to be put in the National Congress Library, and claimed as "The most important film ever made", hands down, you must be missing something.
Dog Star Man, as a whole, is the most amazing experience you could ever sit through. If sitting through "Tears of the Sun" with Bruce Willis was "the best movie ever", then you have never traveled to the avant-garde world of cinema. I would have to say that you should look at "Dog Star Man" and then "Mothlight" if you need to see a good movie. The film itself holds a story in each frame. Seriously, all would love this film. If you have something negative againest this film, please take into consideration what it takes to put something like this together.
Light, picture, sounds. Brakhage is more than a filmmaker.
