Alright so I am very lucky they re-released this because I nearly missed it.
And boy am I glad I didn't! I'd recommend going into this as blind as you can, just see it while you have the chance! If you do miss it, definitely catch it on streaming, it's well worth it.
That being said, I don't know if I'd recommend this to everyone, it's weird, like I thought this was great, but I can totally see some people hating it. It's super high concept, but it's silly, but serious, and you just have to fully buy in to have a good time with this.
But you should! It's totally worth it. Man it's hard to review this. I need a lie down.
Oh this is a 9/10. It's brilliantly written, directed and acted on a pretty small budget too. Everyone in this has their heart and soul in it.
SPOILERS EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK! ALL THE TIME! ALL AT ONCE!
So if you have a strained relationship with a parent you're guaranteed for a cry here, I can't massively relate to a lot of the stuff in this but it still hits hard.
I actually found the hardest hitting thing being the poor husband who really is viewed by his wife as this just total buffoon and idiot but in reality he knows things are hard, he just chooses to view the world through the lens that brings the most joy. I kinda love that, and I love when she appreciates that.
It's so so weird to review this movie because I'm saying it's hard hitting and emotional but it's also just SO SILLY. Like we have effectively a butt plug in a crucial fight scene and big dildos and it's just so wacky and strange at times (the hot dog finger world is deeply upsetting).
I'll say this- it's really cool seeing Laurie Strode in a bizarre role doing mad stuff. Jamie Lee Curtis has tons of personality and really is a great actress in the right roles. She's fantastic in this.
The whole cast is great to be honest, nobody half arses any of this. It feels like it was made with about £10 in budget but it's clearly not, it's so strange.
It's funny but kinda subtly funny as well, it's not like Marvel where it's like PAUSE FOR LAUGH, the funny stuff just happens and it's so surreal. Even the characters are like what is happening?!
The ending was kinda bittersweet right? Like it kinda implies the mam is still dimension hopping which is a sad end right? Strange stuff.
I honestly loved this, it's a great movie and more people need to see it. I wish I had more to say but it's such a whirlwind film my mind is just mush.
I need a lie down.
