This film is everything. It feels like it should be the only film in existence. It feels like the start of a brand new chapter of filmmaking. People like to talk often about the state of film nowadays, and while it often rings true, this one is the type of experience that makes you disregard it all. Because this piece of film right here is truly unlike anything I have ever seen and perhaps ever will see. It’s deeply inventive,…

Showgirls 1995
I’m simply at an utter loss for words, because this experience was truly something unique. A fascinating film that feels truly unique, not just in subject matter, but in its presentation.

Sorry to Bother You 2018
