Android Night Punch

This misunderstood work of art, reflecting the emptiness of modern society, will tear your heart out.

It is easy to mistake this movie for the low budget rushed script, made by completely unexperienced friends, but after careful examination, and 5 repeat viewings, the many underlying layers of this genius piece of art slowly surface.

Is it the spontaneous acting or the face of innocence? Only time will tell as this timeless classic stole my heart, literally. And i mean literally, has anyone seen it?

Admittedly it is quite hard to write a 600 letter review without giving anything away, but here we are at the end.

Go watch it, it's fun.

I've been following Simone (and George) on CineBinge for a while, and recently found out Simone was actually in a movie! Of course I had to see it.

This was created from start to finish during three days on zero budget. So every time I say aspect X of this movie is "good", please mentally add after that, "for a movie created from start to finish during three days on zero budget".

Good stuff:

• Simone Swan! She makes Sam an iconic android. Honestly, this movie may not have been half as watchable without her. She's a treasure. I hope you're happy to have her, Canada.

• The heart! Even though the story doesn't always make a whole lot of sense, the heart of it always shines through. Heart.

• The opening credits! I have to mention this specifically. It's great.

• The beginning and the ending! The both landed super well for me.

• The music! There may be times when it doesn't exactly match what goes on on screen, but other times it sets an amazing mood.

• Some of the camerawork! There are some really cool shots here and there. You can tell they didn't have time to do many re-shoots, but the result is still really impressive, considering, you know.

• The feeling of the raw joy of movie-making! If there's one takeaway from this movie, it is this: It is possible to make a feature-length movie from start to finish during three days on zero budget.

Not-so-good-stuff-but-I-love-the-movie-anyway:

• Most of the acting

• The sound. Seriously, sound production must be a b*tch. I get it. But yeah, too often it's hard to make out what people are saying, and way too often there is excessive background noise.

But honestly, go back and read the list of the good stuff again. Then do what I did: crack open a bottle of wine, make some popcorn, dim the lights and sit down and enjoy Android Night Punch! (Then immediately write a long-winded review of it, gushing about how relatively amazing it is.)
