Co-written and directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, who previously directed the acclaimed documentaries The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence. Oppenheimer also co-wrote the songs with Joshua Schmidt (Adding Machine, A Minister's Wife, Midwestern Gothic).
This got some good reviews from the festival circuit, and I'll watch anything with Michael Shannon or Tilda Swinton, so I'm definitely in.

I caught this in Toronto at TIFF and found it challenging but ultimately thrilling. It's definitely not for everyone, but I thought it was incredibly intriguing, beautifully filmed, and performed with an open heart.

It is not scheduled yet for the two theaters near me. The trailer made me really want to see it.

I finally got around to watching this. It's audacious and challenging, and I kind of loved it. The pacing is a bit too methodical at times, but the characters were always engaging, and I really liked how their relationships ebbed and flowed rather than following the more expected post-apocalyptic narrative of a constant downward spiral. The performances are also fantastic across-the-board; Michael Shannon is one of my favorite actors, and this could be one of his best performances.
The songs are all well-performed (Tilda Swinton in particular absolutely nails her big solo number), and there's real charm in how Oppenheimer choreographs dance numbers for characters who have never danced before.
It would require some finessing of the script and extending of the songs, but I could see this being adapted to the stage fairly successfully.
