Aardvark

This film tells the story of a therapist who tries to help a client, but stumbles upon more problems than anticipated.

The story is not very interesting or captivating. I find it rather unconvincing and plain. Emotional crises or climaxes are absent in the film, making it rather uneventful. Frankly, I lost all interest in it half way through.

I went into this with low expectations because of the rating and came out with a big old smile on my face. There are some slightly fantastical elements to this film because the lead character has mental health issues, one of the main reasons I wanted to see this film. Josh is confused about his reality. And so is the viewer. It sets us in the mind of Josh, smart, vulnerable, but hopeful. The only awkward moments for me were between his therapist and the brother. It was messy, but that's the point, right? Life is messy, regardless of who you are. The film was beautifully shot. The night scenes with Josh especially, and the acting was fantastic. Josh makes a statement towards the end and I screamed. Because why not? At that point I was up for anything. This film isn't perfect but it IS thoughtful. It's all about perspectives and how we don't all see things the same way, whether it's a single event, or the world in general, but that doesn't mean we're not happy. Josh is a benevolent catalyst for change that leaves you wondering who really needed help the most. The last minute or so were perfect.

It's a surrealistic movie that seems to be about isolation for the most part as each charter seems to be dealing with the fact that they are alone in some form or matter.

It's a little too surrealistic for me to the point that I don't know what's going on, which would not be too bad if not for the fact that I found the characters very uninteresting. The characters are played by interesting actors which is the only reason why I was able to hold onto any interest but...

Interesting concept for a story, but it's execution could have been stronger. I don't think it's the fault of the actors, probably the and dialogue and direction is to blame.

Boring no action absolutely positively no reason to watch this
