Apr 15, 2014A movie of intrigue but lacking in the craft needed to make it a classic.There are enough twists to keep it entertaining but it is not terribly memorable.John B Super Reviewer

Sep 20, 2011Time after time the camera shows us people in precarious situations here only to pull back to reveal that everything just witnessed was an elaborate gag designed to please the director of a film ... even the ins and outs of personal relationships. Are our own lives so controlled? A paranoid drug-fueled delusion, mindlessly rambling at points, still interesting at points.

Jun 22, 2011One of the strangest commentaries on filmmaking every made. I don't know if I'm merely baffled by this thing or if I genuinely found it exhilarating but I can't deny the originality.Alec B Super Reviewer

Jun 12, 2011An effing masterpiece from beginning to end. There is just no two ways about it. Peter O'Toole was right. "This film wasn't released, it escaped." An amazing piece of cinema and fantastic performances across the board.Tim S Super Reviewer
