The writer was clearly a fan of Kevin Smiths early work, but it doesn't quite fit in this film. the writing is overly verbose, narcissistic, and incredibly distracting in the same way an overacted play might be. the story takes the LOOOONNNNNGGGG way home, but definitely wouldn't consider it the scenic route. it addresses some over used heavy topics, to me feeling like pandering to the "me too" all the while propitiating a 'man saves woman' trope. this movie tries so hard to be artsy, and it's achieved it in the most cringy way possible. i will say the photography was beautiful, and the music fit well... any stars given were earned on those merits.
