I gave it a 5/10 because I think they were at least trying to do something interesting. A lot of the 1 or 2 star reviews on here are pretty clearly from conservatives upset about the film's message and "propaganda." I suppose that's understandable. My issue with the film is not the message, but rather that it just isn't very good. You can only look at the same few shots of a guy talking to a camera for so long before it gets old. The Cactus Jack Show sections are far more interesting. We finally get some vibrant color and the imagery is pretty horrifying and surreal. If more of the film was like that - or if it had a narrative element at all - this could have really been something. I'm hoping that the people who made this film learn some lessons from it, because I think they have real potential.

It's a shame that, when it comes to zero budget movies, audiences don't try to stretch the zone of their acceptance to include anything besides horror films. This is a kind-hearted, warm, and loving film about familial relationships and the disruptions that life can throw at us.The acting from the little girls and the character Tommy are engaging, and the dialogue, while inconsistent, is often cute and relatable.

Being a micro-budget film, the lighting and sound leave a lot to be desired, and there are quite a few very questionable editing choices, but the fact of the matter is you know that this is a zero budget movie going in, so it makes sense to judge the film based on its merits as a film with these sorts of budget constraints, and makes little sense at all to judge it based on the same criteria with which one would rate a movie with a large budget. Given this films tight budget, it does a good job with its story. I've watched big budget dramas with far, far less heart and warmth than this movie has.

A zero budget, surreal hellscape detailing the mental obstacles the millennial and z generations face in their daily lives. This film is very contained, claustrophobic in its delivery, and raw in presentation. It is recommended as highly relatable content for those aforementioned generarions, and for those who enjoy obscure, micro budget films.
