The idea of this movie was great, but it falls flat on so many levels.. Its not smart or fun, its so obvious and plain, and humor is quite tasteless, a lot of unnecessary swearing, vulgarity, the usual stuff for this day and age..

The actors all did their part, its just the writing that is so bad and boring.. Who gets off watching this movie, I don't get it.. I have not laughed a single time.. I guess its just Netflix creating content for their sub 70 IQ herd..

The fact that this got nominated for the Best picture Oscar really leaves me baffled..

I honestly have no idea what made me push through full two hours of this movie, it may have been my curiosity, or some doubt that this movie may be trying to tell me something important which may unravel by the end.. If there was an underlying philosophical theme, I have completely failed to grasp it. I don't think there was any philosophical background to it all.. The quality of cinematography in this piece cannot be argued though..

For me, this movie is as close depiction of insanity that I have ever seen it in any movie, without any shugar coating, it is raw and disturbing, coupled with a very depressing yet beautiful visuals of the industrial wasteland. I'm not an expert in psychology, but the beautiful italian lady seems to be suffering from a severe bipolar disorder coupled with a strong narcissistic traits.

The thing that really bothered me was the randomness of events in this movie, and by the very end I just couldn't wrap my head around it all.The only movie that I could moderately compare to this one to in style and aesthetics would be Stalker, with long speechless shots and gloomy surroundings. But again, Stalker gave me something to work with, as opposed to this movie which just left me guessing whats the meaning of it all.. I'm usually a very oppinionated movie viewer, but this time I'll just pass giving any rating..

If you're willing to see what insanity looks like close up with none of light motifs usually following in those kind of movies, be my guest, but if you are prone to anxiety, I would urge you to not watch this because I'm not a very anxious person, and after watching I feel like I've had a freight train run through my head.

What an awesome episode.. I really feel bad for folks who cant unwind and enjoy the magic of this, good job Chris. I was really hesitant to watch this, as I understood from the beginning its going to be something goofy, but I was not disappointed one bit.
