Clever and a delight to look at, the movie unfortunately has its head up its own... self. Sad fail-boy just wants to create - why is society so MEAN? It tries to recover from that vibe with a little pretentiousness and self awareness. But overall it's emotionally flat once the initial charm wears off.
Really good and way better than I had expected it would be. Just a really imaginative and fun movie. Check it out and see what you think. On to the next.
Brilliant. A work of art.
Worth it for the creativity of the set design alone but really so much more than that.
If the weird kid in high school art class that occasionally spoke and everyone chuckled made a movie, this would be the movie.
