Welcome the Stranger

The film at all vague. If you don't read the description to the movie, nothing is clear. It turns out that some girl comes to some guy...some mansion. Then the prehistory opens. The plot is almost non-existent. Maybe there's an acting game. Not a movie, but a solid schizophrenia.

Alice (Abbey Lee Kershaw) arrives unannounced at her estranged brother Ethan (Caleb Landry Jones)'s mansion. He reluctantly allows her to stay overnight. The siblings have a mysterious mommy issue with their late mother. Ethan's girlfriend Misty (Riley Keough) arrives.

"Hey, stop acting weird.", Ethan tells Alice in front of Misty. That's what I want to say to this movie. Writer/director Justin Kelly is trying really hard to be arthouse worthy with close-ups, mumblecore, a portal to nowhere, and a strange psychosexual mystery. It's trying too hard and being too weird. Abbey Lee has the haunted emaciated look of a supermodel. Caleb looks like a creepy serial killer. They're acting strange for the sake of the movie. It's play acting. It could still be saved by an amazing ending to wrap it up. Instead, it does the amateur move and does it without the kinetic energy to drive it home. This is a slow, long tease to a hollow ending and doesn't explain some of the more weird elements.

I feel as if those who are rating this movie poorly are failing to see the sophistaction, artfulness and unique story Justin Kelly has brought to us. Just because you don't understand something entirely, or a film doesn't leave you with that "happy ending" feeling, doesn't make it bad. This film is extremely fresh and innovative - it kept me happily on my toes until it's very last moments. Despite it leaving me with a few unanswered questions, I was more than pleased with this film's conclusion. Art here certainly imitates life, and life is full of unanswered questions. Why should a film be any different? I found myself wondering, "What does that symbolize?" or "Was that real or just a daydream?". Most things in life don't leave you with a solid answer. With that being said, those bothered by this film must dislike leaving things to the imagination; failing to create an interpretation of their own. Regardless, the acting was undoubtedly remarkable - Abbey Lee truly shined and stole the show. The storyline was creative and refreshing; the cinematography... pure eye candy. Highly recommend for any filmophile - find solace in the unanswered questions.

I do like a lot of strange films but his is just the worst. Far too pretentious and deep without even trying to explain itself.

A good waste of 90 minutes.

Maybe an epilogue to explain it would help as the film doesnt.

Is the expectation seriously that folks are supposed to purchase a ticket for this movie to watch it in theaters? I don't think I've ever been this bored in my life watching a movie and typically I enjoy movies such as this, however, this was complete trash and super boring.
