Aimy in a Cage

If you started watching the movie, got confused and irritated and then decided to check IMDb for reviews, just in case you are missing something.

Some puzzle piece that will make this mess into a coherent experience - well, I hate to break it to you, but there isn't one.

The only way for this film to be perceived as "good" is if you genuinely want to take a dive into a delirium.

Summary: It's bad, it doesn't get better to the end, no answers or 'endings' will be happening.

P.S. I hate "10 lines minimum" policy. This sht shtick doesn't deserve 10 lines.

The costumes, set design, music, and acting are all superb. The film has themes of abuse, alienation, gaslighting. It's about the end of the world. Millions die while they're trapped in quarantine. We don't know who to root for after a while because everyone is the victim of everyone. The movie attempts to find the gray area in every extreme situation. At the same time there is a feeling like judge TV shows or wrestling shows that it's pure crazy fun.

Odd. Crazy. Confusing. But I had to keep watching to see what it was all about. I didn't skip anything and I watched into the credits. I have no idea. The performances were good. I've seen the odd obscure experimental theatre production (usually after a couple of beers) and this was in that realm. It was strangely enjoyable.

I will be looking for more of Allisyn in future movies though. I did like the dancing through the movie. It gave me the feel of Alice in Wonderland. I cant say that I liked much of the movie though. The lighting was surreal. There was just way too much screaming through the whole movie. It really just gave me a headache by the end.

Now that was a completely different role for him. An understated gangster. Dangerous in the way of David Lynch, where there is this undercurrent of tension across his scenes that could explode at any point. Only thing is that I wish they utilized him more as the central villain of the movie, and let him really take over ala Dennis Hopper or Willem Dafoe. Glover is showing mastery across several of his scenes as the canonical villain, sowing psychological discord, and planning to make off with the cash.
