Jimmy and Stiggs

No pun intended - now first things first: I am known to rate generously ... and you may not like this movie at all. Secondly this may be the closest I will get to a... let's call it trip, being under the influence or whatever else you want to call it. This is as insane as something can get! Visually though and acting wise - for a low budget movie - exceptional in my book.

This played at a Festival and the opinions were either loving it or hating it. And I get it ... this can be quite annoying if you do not tune into the mindset of the movie. But even those who do not like it, have to agree it looks stunning ... cinematography is off ... this planet! Kidding aside this looks awesome.

Now the movie does start with a POV shot that goes on for a few minutes ... I am glad it switches to "normal" mode after that (it will circle back to POV later on, but most of the movie will not be that) ... that said this low budget effort does something most (pov) movies get wrong ... it adds a "shutter" every now and then, simulating eyelids closing ... now some didn't even notice that, but I love that attention to detail.

Talking of which, I do wonder if they shot this in order. Usually movies are shot all over the place ... no pun intended here, with just one "place" of sorts or to speak of. And while I don't think people would be too surprised or taken ... out of the movie if continuity got mixed up ... this feels like another example of really bringing their A-game.

So while I can't tell if you will be able to suspend your disbelief and go on this journey with the characters ... if you do, you're in for a treat! This is not paint(ing) by numbers ...
