One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
... View MoreSurprised by the number of negative reviews. It's a very good film with fantastic acting.
... View MoreIt was hard for me to get my bearings in this film. I love Toby Jones and he never disappoints even with a script like this. The Big Reveal frankly doesn't. I remember thinking at the beginning when Weird Things Happen: oh no, this is going to be one of those "dream movies". A sign of poor writing in every medium.Alas and alack 'twas all confirmed.Great acting though and some of the exteriors were brilliant. I could not figure out how he had an upstairs though as each apartment was on a floor above the others.3/10
... View MoreI love Tobby Jones, her prove himself through his career as an great Actor, and in this movie which have tendency to be an Artwork, he really prove himself as a great character Actor. But, the whole movie with its rythm is very slow and boring, and kind of a mess. Still, it is great to watch if you want to see how good actor can go deep into character. I must say I gave up after a half of it, but I still admire how Tobby Jones illustrates a persona in this one. I was suprised no many Critics gave a shot to this, but obviously did not make much of attention to such audience. I say acting is great from all of the Cast but as a movie it fails to lead u deep in it.
... View MoreLike Norman Bates and Buster Bluth before him the main character in this movie, Carl, has severe mommy issues. It all begins when Carl gets a date with a girl over the internet, and when they make it back to his pad, its when everything freaking weird starts, starting with a phone call from Mommy herself, we don't know the backstory, well, Carl does not want to see Mommy... we also find out that Carl does not drink because 'It sends him somewhere' and after his date promises to go looking for him and sneaks some booze into his drink, he promptly 'goes somewhere' and its morning, house is in shambles and oh yea, his date is dead in the upstairs bathroom, then... Mommy shows up. And we quickly see Carl is not exactly...hmmmm... sane. I of course really loved it because simply of the 'what the hell am I watching?' factor. Toby Jones is awesome as Carl, he's always good tho... And its written and directed by his bro Rupert Jones, and its all about Mommy issues, wtf happened in that household??? It reminded me of the movie Spider with Ralph Fiennes in a way...and that movie is spectacular by the way!! So this Mother's Day chill with Mom, and watch this one!! Filmbufftim on FB.
