Seven Stages to Achieve Eternal Bliss by Passing Through the Gateway Chosen by the Holy Storsh

This comedy is really quirky and fun. It makes cult suicides actually entertaining to watch, which is quite a feat. The characters are likable, and I enjoyed watching the film.

This is one weird film. It is unconventional yet familiar. It was bizarre in more ways than one. Is this a comedy? Or is it horror? Is it satire? Philosophical?

I have no idea what I watched. Yet, it put a big smile on my face. And to this day, I still have no clue why.

Building off the fantastically outlandish premise of a suicide cult occupying the apartment of a normal couple, before taking things to illogical extremes. This setup invites a revolving door of beloved b-list comedians who show up for one-act performances, to varying degrees of craziness.

If the overblown title didn't already give it away, the film has no interest in being understated. The plot opts to follow a zany zig zag rather than make any attempt at coherent realism, so if you like your comedy grounded, this may not be for you. For the most part, the absurdism is amusing, taking things in some unexpected directions. Occasionally, it does come across a little awkwardly, with a couple of the non sequitur monologues overstaying their welcome.

Quirky to a fault, but still an enjoyable little black comedy if you can sustain a sense of humour about suicide.

I just have to stand up for this movie, in light of some bad reviews I'm seeing on here. There were at least three points in this film when I laughed till I cried. Believe me, that doesn't happen often. (The first time involved the talent of tap dancing.) It can be tricky in black comedy to maintain a tone that doesn't try too hard, but the director managed this feat admirably. The actors also largely maintained just the right balance, especially Kate Micucci, whose presence and sometimes subtle changes in expression were spot on. The pace of the storytelling and the editing were quite good. Fantastic commitment to absurdism by all; I can't wait to see more from the writers.

I absolutely loved this movie! People who rate this movie poorly are no doubt boring and devoid of any real joy in life. They say things like, "Egh, a rainbow, I hate when water diffuses light." or "I don't like Apocalypse Now. Too many helicopters." or "Now look, I take Frisbee Golf VERY seriously!" This movie is a good time!
