Luca D @JoeCamel7 Sep 28 Goes from black comedy to drama about halfway through. Wish the characters were a little more fleshed out, but their standoffishnish is very realistic, especially when they proclaim how hard it is to make friends in their small town. Just wish we got to know them a little better, or even if they had smallest bit of connection. The acting throughout this movie is phenomenal, though it's very 1970s acting its still good, comes off almost like actors in a play which I personally think is the best acting. I haven't delved into the meaning of the book/movie but it definitely makes you think about yourself and your actions towards others, especially in terms of preaching and spreading information (or misinformation).

I seemed directionless and without purpose or meaning. Yep, by the end that is exactly what this movie is about - roaming senselessness. Was this Huston's stab at "A Clockwork Orange" or a biker movie? I'll never get that 1 hour and 47 minutes of my life back. I feel dumber for having watched it.

Like many of the militant atheists, her main character (Hazel) is obsessed with religion. He pulls other people into his personal tragedy as he preaches against God and Christ. Don't be surpised if you become one of Hazel's victims. This movie may give you nightmares. See more 07/16/2020 Very bizarre, hilarious, awkward. I loved it. See more 09/28/2019 Think this one would be better shot my Coen Bros or Martin McDonagh, who have a feel for O'Connor type stories. The soundtrack is distracting and uneven. Overdubbing with a fresh one would remedy half of what's objectionable in this movie. See more Read all reviews
