An absolute masterpiece
22 April 2019
Everything about this movie is beautifully crafted. I'll start with the editing; top notch. Looks just like it was made in Windows Movie Maker. The cinematography? Extremely courageous and breathtaking. They definitely took a note from Battlefield Earth, and filmed almost entirely in Dutch angles, which is so innovative and purposeful. The actors were clearly hand-selected from such fine conservatories as AMDA and Barbizon. The best actor is definitely Sebastian, the baby. He's such a convincing rag doll, I almost forgot he was supposed to be a real baby! And the script. Oh, the script! Filled with so many iconic lines such as, "It looks like a cross between a hemorrhoid and a herpe," and, "Why does everybody keep telling me to breathe??" "Because you gotta breathe," and, of course, "sEbAsTiAaAn!" Definitely snubbed at the Academy in 2012 for a Best Original Screenplay nomination. I highly recommend this movie.....when you're blackout drunk or high as balls
