... View MoreIf 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.
... View MoreI saw this film on Amazon and it was a total surprise. It's not like any other film I've seen. It really feels like the filmmaker tried to tell the teenagers stories with their own voice, not with their own. I wish more films were like this!
... View MoreThe film is a sensitive, beautiful, dreamy and colourful look at teenage identity, sad at times, funny at other times. I laughed at one of the poems. It features good music - a grunge mixed ethereal sound and the young actors were believable. Overall it's a good debut and impressive talent.
... View MoreA refreshing take on youth-hood in modern Britain which pictures human as they are without any prejudice. A humble rock song in the shape of a movie which can entertain a mass open-minded crowd without too much screaming or shouting! In my opinion the art of film making is about storytelling. Well, Alex Taylor has mastered the story of 21st century human onboard of our crazy spaceship. The Spaceship is like me and you;sometimes charming, sometimes cruel but everyone are welcome onboard. Life is too short but the teenagers' life seems to go on forever on the Spaceship moving from past to the future. Welcome onboard people.
... View MoreCaught this as LFF the other week. It's pretty awful. I think it's meant to be some revelatory insight into teen culture but there's no depth to any of the characters - they're just mouthpieces for the director's pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-philosophical stream of conscience stuff. There's not much of a plot - a girl possibly gets abducted by aliens - but the film doesn't have the guts to pursue that with any real intelligence. The writer/director introduced the film and seemed to think that the film was "really weird" and we should "embrace the strangeness", but I think there's a difference between being cleverly strange like Aronofsky or Korine to create an emotional response, versus whatever this is where the filmmaker seems to think that going on about unicorns and rainbows equates to enough depth to sustain the audiences interest. It doesn't. I will say that it looks very nice, there's a sequence at a party with day-glow neon make-up that looks great - but looking great isn't enough. The actors are interesting and some of them have real presence, it's just a shame they're forced to speak the rubbish dialogue.
