The 11th Green

This is a dense, cerebral motion picture. It is not a crowd-pleaser, not the latest Netflix original. It will, however, reward your attentive and undistracted viewing. Devastating but hopeful, well-crafted with strong performances, this film tackles an important subject that merits serious attention.

The 11th Green is an unexpected and surprising look at untold history. I loved the choice to interweave different time periods which is executed gracefully and provocatively throughout the film. The story will challenge you to question many of your beliefs about aliens and the history of energy production. Truly eye-opening. Definitely a must see.

This movie is incredibly interesting and overflowing with talented actors and attributes! I've watched it 2 times so far. I'm looking forward to viewing it again and I truly hope it will be available to purchase on dvd.

The 11th Green begins understated: A passive reaction to a fantastical sighting; a monotone news report about preposterous technology. But audience beware: like a frog in a pot of slowly heated water, you won't know what hit you until you are boiling alive in the multi-faceted, technicolor time warp of auteur Christopher Munch's making. It's beautifully shot - some great desert frames and lasting images stick out as calming amongst the intellectual chaos. The briefly seen low budget CGI doesn't take away from the story - there's no time to unsuspend your disbelief when you're wrapping your head around outlandish hypotheticals intertwined with true to life historical figures, places, and events. The performances are acutely fun for the historically attuned. A psychedelic fever dream for the US history buff - or an active rejection of recent human history as we know it - you decide. This movie is the definition of what Sundance used to be for.

When hate and fear and disinformation are the order of the day, you get this. An acid trip gone bad.
