Artivels Undescribable Perfection
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
PhilMAKerr The brothers Jacobson have a relaxed, happy-go-lucky disposition that is ensnarled into a grim entanglement with only sparse, uncomfortable laughter as an inadequate pressure release. The seemingly frugal production - two main roles, one location - fronts what is really a very clever and handsome piece of cinema. The narrative and the visuals are synchronised in a subtle, unrelenting, slow boil. At first it is bicycles and country roads - something of the innocence of youth. At its conclusion it is, well, unfair to say it switches genre. Rather it seduces you into witnessing what traditionally would belong in other more hardcore genres. Fully sick, bro.
Alison Brothers Jeff (Clayton Jacobson) and Terry (Shane Jacobson) have come up with a plan for the perfect murder; they've meticulously organized a sequence of events so that when the body is discovered, it is seen as obviously a suicide. Jeff has even ensured that they won't leave any DNA evidence behind, making sure that they have protective clothing, gloves and shoe covers. But when the intended victim arrives, nothing goes quite to plan....This kind of deeply dark humour either strikes the viewer as wonderfully imaginative and smart and funny, or as producing a "huh?" kind of reaction; fortunately this viewer at least felt the former rather than the latter. The film was directed by Clayton and produced by both real-life brothers, so in addition to the dark humour the comparisons to the Coen Brothers are bound to come up; but these two put a whole new spin on the idea that things never quite go to plan, no matter how meticulous you've been in trying to foresee every contingent. A few violent scenes, nothing more gory than you might see on television today, but a warning to the squeamish on that front; otherwise, just enjoy!
jachozn1 Although this film is a far cry from the brothers first film together, that doesn't make an iota of difference for this wonderful film that is entertaining and engaging from the get go. I'm not going to bang on about genre and mood and tone and humour - it's all taken care of with watching the film. Some films you wonder why you sat through it, this one you get to the end without realising the time has passed. A real, gritty, funny and touching film.
jdalgliesh This movie ticks all the boxes for its genre (which, by the way, is the 90% cocoa kind of dark comedy, so don't expect every laugh to be a belly laugh).Clayton Jacobson shines his directorial expertise at a fabulous script and the end result is deliciously fascinating. There are twists and turns that I didn't see coming (and I'm a pretty savvy predictor of plot twists) - yet from the first frame, we know we're in for a dark and unsettling journey. The tension stays high throughout, except when we're let off the hook with an uncomfortable chuckle. But honestly, from the word go you KNOW we're not in a unicorns-and-puppies kind of world here. The character psychology is utterly consistent and beautifully drawn by both screenwriter and cast. The acting is superb - nuanced and brilliantly paced - and the story builds in a hugely satisfying way, with information being revealed at just the right time, every time.Cinematography, art direction, music and editing are all excellent, supporting the overall mood and story with textured layering that does its work almost invisibly, it's so good.I can't wait to see this movie again. Even though a part of me kinda doesn't want to. (Did I mention, it's dark?)Highly recommended.
