Holy sh!t snacks! Like, literally.
If Swiss Army Man isn't the weirdest movie I've ever seen I don't know what is. There were plenty of walkouts this morning, but also some people, myself included, cracking up and into the film.
When I was leaving the theater I was walking behind a couple who had also seen the film. One held the door for me- I stared back at her, still too dumbfounded to say thank you. All three of us began laughing like crazy people. I said, "I guess we've seen it all now," to which the guy responded, "yep, that's a bar we may never see met again."
I knew the premise of the film going in, but that's actually the NORMAL part of the movie. With each act the film just keeps getting weirder and weirder. I was pleased with the ending and thrilled they didn't take the obvious way out of the set up that was created.
Dano was very good, but it is Radcliffe who gives the performance of his career, stage or screen. The story is ultimately very moving and lovely. The fantastic film editing alone should be enough to satisfy most film lovers.
The Lobster, High Rise and now this? It's sure been a strange summer so far...
