A R @SKOLPRANO Jul 14 Weird/disturbing powerful message See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Jun 15 One of the more unique films one will see, with one of the worst endings.

I go to a mountain, to look down on the town, to gain perspective. And what is all that about or like. This... This was a bit like a young writer's work, in that both being refreshing and a bit stilted... Pushing through agenda past what your characters can do. However. I think it is meant as a some of allegory? a 1984? and all to build understanding, and to feel the pain young men might experience. Small pause. Some of it does sort of beg a question, and begin the mind wondering, on a path to psychiatric diagnosis, slightly. But. So I sort of wish the guy would talk to his parents about this stuff, and not me, (or an outside world) ... but there you are.

The closest thing to an inciting incident arrives late, triggering the final stretch. In most films this would be a flaw, but here it works due to its artful approach to revealing character. The filmmaking, especially compositions, camera movement, and editing, draws attention to itself, distancing us and inviting judgment rather than immersion. Performances are strong across the board. The film unfolds as a series of seemingly disjointed scenes, each adding layers to the characters’ isolated lives, offering symbolism and commentary on how we construct private worlds to shield ourselves from society. Its unique style keeps us engaged while highlighting its craft. Yorgos Lanthimos would later expand on these themes and tone in his career, but his signature discomfort is already present here. I recommend it for film buffs, though some may find its pace tedious. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug Apr 6 Well, that was bizarre. I kept watching because I wanted to see what happened next. I never did see what was coming. I liked that. See more Read all reviews
