Some of the reviews here are highly entertaining, I will admit. IMDB users never fail to amaze with their continual inability to engage with unique film.
I was simply gleeful watching the whole thing with a big smile across my face. In a world of action comedies, pretentious horror films, the borderline parody level "A24 'Genre'" type films, its so refreshing to have something as creative as this. This is a highly literate film, reminding me of Pynchon, Bolaño, Easton Ellis, Kerouac and much more. I so hope Pinkerton writes even bigger films, because this has one of the best screenplays in a long time, crafting a very unique and yet believable world, full of exaggerated yet realistic caricatures. There's an early De Palma like quality to this, very Hi Mom in parts.
Of course it was also directed by a cinematographer, so the film is probably the best looking film released in the last decade. Sean Price Williams does a fantastic job directing this gorgeous film. Dean Hurley's sound design also deserves a nod. The entire soundtrack is excellent, once again providing relief against radio hit needledrop soundtracks everybody loves now. Talia Ryder is a star in the making right here, she's excellent! Really everyone is, Simon Rex being especially hilarious.
