Fantastic!
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
This movie is a depressing, well-shot trip full of heart-pounding music. The shots are long and flowing, depicting the downward mental spiral of a crazy old woman. I'd call this a thriller. Its worth watching just to experience the mild insanity of this thanksgiving gathering. Mundane scenes in this short slice-of-life story are intensified by an incredible soundtrack. This movie doesn't have much in the way of a plot or script, and is heavily reliant on stunning visuals. This story is a sad one and not for everyone, but if you're interested, then this is worth a watch.
Shot like a home movie and just as interesting you would be better off doing just about anything than watching this pointless mess. Masturbate or rob a store. Literally ANYTHING. Every conflict in this film is presented with so little context that it makes it impossible to care about and there is no real narratite through line, just a collection of scenes that seem to be picked at random at times. I would say more but there is nothing to talk about. I want my 83 minutes back.
I've been highly anticipating the film, It Comes at Night, opening in theaters on June 9th. From watching the trailer alone, I was impressed by the look and feel of the film. It Comes at Night is only the second feature film by director/writer, Trey Edward Shults. His first feature film was released in 2015 entitled, Krisha. This film follows a woman named Krisha as she sets out to spend Thanksgiving weekend with her family. Krisha has been estranged for her family for ten years, apparently due to a substance abuse problem she used to have. Newly clean, Krisha reaches out to her sister with the hopes of reconnecting with her family and regaining their trust. However, it seems that Krisha is still battling her demons, and a downward spiral is imminent.Read more on my blog - http://sffilmbuff.blogspot.com
I love Indies! I'm myself an independent filmmaker. But I hate twisted dysfunctional people vomiting their nonsense within the garb of offbeat movies! I mean what the hell was the point of this film. There is this neurotic, troubled loser of a woman torturing us for 83 minutes. Such people need help, not glorification through films. Not sure what was going on in the minds of Cannes or SXSW jury to award this film with so many accolades.
