Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Of the 41 films I saw at SBIFF, this was the most strikingly original. I don't want to say much about the plot--and I have to admit that when I read the synopsis in the festival program, I wasn't at all interested in it. I saw it on the strength of one person telling me it was only 5/5 review she'd given a film so far.Basically, a woman decides to try and sort herself out with a form of music therapy. She can't stick the actual therapy sessions, and resorts to a DIY approach. The lead actress was wonderfully deadpan, and her hyper male counterpart the perfect contrast.The story is fun and quirky, the low-budget production actually complements the script very well, and the whole theater was constantly breaking into laughter.I came out of this one feeling cheered and optimistic, that there's hope for humanity as long as someone can come up with a movie like this.
