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.

This is the kind of German Expressionism meets Art-Deco Kitsch that was popular with low-budget guerrilla filmmakers and artsy porn directors in the eighties, and even then not so much. Style-over-substance without any discernible style other than pseudo-fifties-steam-punk, this is what would happen if you gave a first-year film student a six-figure budget. If you attempt to hang on through the first twenty minutes or so hoping that a semblance of structure or cohesion will begin to take hold of what loosely passes for a plot, you'll just wind up more disappointed. You'd be better off digging up an old copy of Meet the Hollowheads or Terrorvision. Even Cafe Flesh would feel like a step up from this.

It's an hour and 20 minutes you'll never get back! I found myself fast forwarding over many parts as they spewed mindless dribble out of their mouths, instead of intelligent dialogue. I can't even say they over- acted, because that would imply that there was some acting going on. The costumes must have been picked by a grade 3 class who were taking mommy's medication! Just horrible. That's all I can say.

There was one thing that I liked. The old-style TV they used as a prop. It reminded me of a video game I played when I was a teenager. Other than that, please be on some major drugs if you see this. It's the only way you'll get through it without wanting to kill yourself!

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.

Watching this for 90 minutes was a real torture that is no less than the torture endured by Aimy in the movie. Horrible direction, no entertainment value, no educational value, not artistic, ... I just wonder what was this movie about. Looks like a high school project.

I can imagine Aimy in a Cage causing great distress to a casual audience during screenings. Not so much for the content, as it's artistic and experimental form. I pity those who don't have the imagination or capacity to dream of cinema outside of a prescribed copy & paste format. There is a lot owed to Tim Burton - with the colored lighting, gaudy sets, costumes and props reminiscent of Burton's earlier works. The theme of being a repugnant and excluded artist is also present throughout. I saw the film as a subverted allegory for a girl struggling with an eating disorder, but who knows. Like the best surrealist cinema, the film flows subconsciously, like coming in-and-out of deep sleep. The cuts don't necessarily match and the audio isn't always synced, but it only adds to the orchestrated chaos of the film. Intentionally or not, I found the film hilarious in parts, especially scenes involving the Grandmother or Crispin Glover. Unfortunately, the narrative does fall-apart around the 50-minute mark (somewhat amusing in itself) as the cast shrinks downs to a trio. No doubt due to budget constraints. Still, I commend the filmmakers for creating this nightmarish fairytale, experimenting with cinema as an art-form. Which - lets face it, in recent times has reverted to being spoon-fed warm diarrhoea by major corporations.

I dont know how to rate it... video effects was like from 80. Even i can do better effects on video, but acting was good. The creators really tried to do their best.

"Aimy Micry, a teenage orphan and delinquent, rebels against her family against the backdrop of a global plague outbreak." After watching a few minutes of it, I realized it was a pretty good story. I liked the music a lot, too. Every character in this thing is weird as hell and the situations are outrageous! I thought it was a ton of fun. I love the whimsical nature of this movie. It is one trippy experience.

Just a heads up, this is an art film. It's weird and unpredictable. So if you go into this expecting an easily defined setup, confrontation, and resolution, you will be bitterly disappointed.

If, however, you're the type of person who can hang with the uncomfortable, unconventional, and macabre...well you might still be disappointed, but at least you'll know why.

In this film you will find random characters and bizarre situations. You might identify metaphors or parallels with society. You might just sit and smile at the absurdity of it all. So here now is your choice. Dive in and see how you fare.

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.

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.

This is a film about child abuse, from beginning to end we are seeing her victimized, terrorized, belittled and harmed by every character in the movie. If that is what passes as modern entertainment, then so be it, but I would have liked to see an ample warning. There is not much substance here, only a little girl being targeted for system ritual abuse by her family members. If being shocked and appalled is their goal, then I suppose they succeeded.

The movie is beautifully crafted with committed performances by its stars. It is a Rorschach test the way David Lynch's movies are. Is it comedy? Horror? Surrealism? Everyone I saw it with has entirely different opinions about what worked and what didn't. Terry Moore as the Grandma was my favorite part, as she is delightfuly wicked for her age. I can't wait to see what the director does next.

The director had a screening for a new directors cut at our film schools midnight cinema fest. He spoke about its influences of primal scream therapy, accelerationism and a lot of other forces shaping it from art music to experimental animation.

Whatever are its influences, the movie is dark and deep, funny and bleak, full of sound and fury. Reminds me a LOT of korean and japanese cinema. Hope to watch it again when I can process it more.

Could not believe she is not only featured but has a cameo. Her songs were not written for the film, but come straight off of her albums and fit the gothic images so perfectly. The movie is fantastically Tim Burton esque.

It was absolutely perfect in every way. The lead's acting was off the chart...I was really impressed and giggling along sometimes at the character's antics and the way she just ripped right into her role, it must have been just fabulous on set... It was the very first time I'm not very impressed by Mr. Glover simply because I felt like he was doing a woody harrelson thing or something, but I love him anyway and the role could have been more well defined or rounded as a character, but overall, it fit. I loved Miss Paz, she added an extra kick, and I just loved the writing & the set design. The lighting was also absolutely perfect. Perfect movie.

The first time it was like one long fruit by the foot commercial. It is zany and freaky film. Three quotes kept popping in my head. "If you're traveling through hell, keep going." "If you are great, El Topo is great. If you are limited, El Topo is limited." "I do not take drugs, I am drugs." It is a trip.
