Logan Bushaw 03/27/2025 MORE RE-RELEASES PLEASE See more rylee 03/23/2025 i love this movie so much. 🤍 See more Fantazynerd 1 @RT48179632 1d Truly different from what I expected See more Benjamin W @Code70 4d Very interesting and impressively well-put together. But I fundamentally disagree with the core philosophical ideologies of the film. Richard Kelly is a secular, left-leaning artist. You can tell that with this film. It’s a movie about the progressive anti-conformity, anti-authoritarian liberalistic movement of the youth, and about the “hypocrisy” and “superficiality” of Reagan-era late 80s American conservatism. But this is also a movie that is heavily interested in divine intervention, and the concept of a predestined, ordained universe driven by a creator. As a firm Christian and follower of Christ, I believe this to be a misguiding, and even ironic statement on conformative religious conservatism. These viewpoints clash in a way that feels inauthentic, given two such things cannot coexist, and that if the individualistic worldview is the correct one, why would it be comforting or reassuring to know that you live in a pre-ordained universe? Very peculiar, in my mind. See more Globert G. @GloBertGliedner Jun 23 My friend Jack told me this was a good one. A recommendation from him is usually a trail worth following. Not this time. It was so late the night had near spent itself and morning was pacing just beyond the windows when we put the thing on. Drew Barrymore was the lone bright lantern in that wilderness, charming enough to turn pixie dust into sand and sand back again. But the movie staggered on through one strange scene after another and left us staring at the screen like travelers who’d taken a wrong trail in the desert. When it was over I had but one thought. What the f*#k was I watching? See more Oaklee D @ODie63 Jun 20 I really wanted to like this one and I tried really hard but this just wasn't for me. See more Read all reviews
