Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I managed to watch Fourteen minutes deep into this movie.First and foremost...I had a hard time distinguishing the ugly androgynous girl and boy.Just because you slap a bunch of Lousy video clips together does not make it art. Probably somebody out there has no taste and will like this garbage, and for whatever reason manage to watch it longer than I have.Taking a dump and eating a bagel was a lot more exciting than this movie.I don't know how this movie ended up in my stack of bootlegs.but..IT SUCKED HARD.

What brought my attention to this movie, honestly? I read it got "some awards". I told to myself it's going to be good most probably... But it wasn't. Sorry.I liked creativity in expressing of authors feelings (I mean it in using media, photos, drawings, etc. way). They told their story in an interesting way (that deserves some stars). They indeed had few interesting ideas. But... This story... it is, what every single teenager and growing-up person in the World goes through... and it's not interesting to anyone around, except a person who is in it! We all have those moments in life and once you're older - you smile at them, because you know it was just an "imaginary-pubertal-hormonal-bullshit" plus "wanting to get laid" (especially 1st part of a movie) and "feeling lonely in society".Now, you may say. "Yes! but this is life! and this movie is about life!" but, please, remember about one thing: we're having now "internets" and millions of youngsters are expressing themselves online in a very similar way: you need to do much more to be original with your "arts" and self-expression.It's also too long! It may be a tribute to your love, but a spectator doesn't necessary want to see your faces from many different angles for 40 minutes (each). After a while I was more annoyed with personalities of those two, rather than interested, how it will follow. Truly a "four eyed monster" it was...I would love to see instead a movie from an author, who has reach personality, uses it to do interesting, useful things in life... and shares great - maybe even Utopian - ideas. An "art for an art" itself is not working anymore...P.S. American way of expressing feelings on every possible occasion is so annoying! You guys can talk for 30 minutes about a fact that you're nervous, because you have to visit a dentist. OMG!!!P.P.S. Oh, one more thing: perhaps I am just a bit allergic lately when I see a picture about people, who tell a story (document?) ONLY about themselves: "me, me, me, me, me... I am... I would like... I wish for myself this and that...I, I, I..." Blehhh.....

Everybody has been one. No one likes to watch them. Those four eyed monsters, two people who are completely aware of each other and completely unaware of their surroundings. Four eyes, two mouths, two heads, four ears, four arms, four legs, two souls. When you see these four eyed monsters what comes to mind? Sometimes jealously, disgust, envy, longing, loneliness. Everybody has been one, No one likes to watch them.Four eyed monsters is no doubt a independent jewel. It is a movie that we all can relate with, we all have been there. A very unique look on relationships, and the love and companionship we all seek, fear, and love.This film is incredibly underrated. Every negative thing I have seen is that the ending makes no sense. It makes complete sense, this story is not over yet. The film is what kept them together, and it shows from the point when they meet, get into their unorthodox relationship, to the current. This is almost a documentary about their own relationship and making this film is obviously a major reason why they stayed together, they could not just end this film. This tells a tale, and the ending, the film making is part of the story. This film does not end, because their story does not end. It is what it is, and what it is, is beautiful.As far as composition, this film has a very unique style that can only be delivered by the independent film world. Four eyed monsters flowed exactly like their relationships, smooth at points, rough at points, sensual at some points, every scene was beautifully accentuated by the cinematography. The music as well fits perfectly, all of it by small time artists and fits perfectly. It sets a mood that only the passion of small time artists can, before the world of mainstream music has corrupted them.This is not a movie for mainstream eyes however. It takes a certain kind of viewer to really appreciate this film. You have to watch it with a different eye, that is open to a fresh look in film. I would recommend this for anyone to see, however if you do see it remember independent film is a different world. Once you can understand that you will understand this film and see the beauty that so many people see.Even if you did not enjoy this film, help these film makers out. This film has left them in incredible debt. Go to their website, http://www.foureyedmonsters.com/ , and do what they say because independent film is a tough business. It takes two seconds and is well worth it if it inspires them to put out more jewels like this.

This film may not be easily accessible but should definitely be seen if you have the chance. A great story about young adults that will ring true for many people. Limited distribution will cause a problem for this film but don't let it stand in the way of you seeing it. Get in touch with the filmmakers if you have to. Nothing groundbreaking but it is so refreshing to see people using film to do more than sell tickets. This film has a real heart that rings true in the final product. By the way, I have no affiliation with the filmmakers as many on these boards would like to suggest every time someone really likes something. I just got lucky enough to see this at a festival and I would hate for anyone to miss it if they have the chance to catch it.
