The lighting is beautiful and adds this feeling of darkness you might normally find in a well made horror film. No matter how you feel when you leave this movie there is no denying how well shot it is. He brings so much humanity to a place it shouldn’t be.Īesthetically, this movie is absolutely brilliant. His character is narcissistic and insane, yet you like him. He hits it out of the park in the movie managing to make people unsure whether to be uncomfortable or laugh. His performance is dark, uncomfortable and most of all hilarious. The four girls do a decent job, the most notable being Selena Gomez although her character wasn’t in it for a lot of the highly regarded scenes. I couldn’t believe that these people watched the same film I did.Īs far as performances go there isn’t much here other than Franco. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I walked in so it turned out to be a nice little treat, but to my disbelief when I got home I began reading up on it and all I could see were tweets and posts about it being the “worst movie ever made” and “absolutely disgusting soft core porn”.

I watched this opening night and was shocked at how good of a movie it had turned out to be. Korine is a strangely unique director that uses this film to bore you into understanding how a generation growing up with MTV and girls gone wild has deeply mutilated the pursuit of happiness with nihilistic extremity - however his satirical exploration leaves you uncertain whether to laugh, cry out in horror, or stare in disbelief at its overwhelmingly artistic beauty.
