1/1

Lindsey Shaw rules. Liars rule. Judd Nelson rules. Dendrie Taylor rules. 1/1 has many strengths. It's a slow burn, so hang in there during the first 30 minutes. Actually, that was my favorite part, but my wife was like "nahhhhh." But then she loved the rest. Funny enough, overall, she likes 1/1 more than me. I don't get the title. Whatever.

1/1 has a good message about family and love and forgiveness. I mean, it's an odd movie and if the story were told simpler, it would be more effective. Any yet, in the end, I was touched.

1/1 is densely visual, tension packed, and fueled ambition. A narrative that is more than relatable to those of us who have ever felt like outcasts or degenerates. This movie is glitchy, shocking, and unsettling in the best way.

A truly gripping feature debut for Jeremy Phillips, an amazing performance by Lindsey Shaw, and exquisite visual effects all lead to 1/1 being a must watch film!

I know Judd Nelson has had his ups and downs over the decades, but I love him in New Jack City and The Breakfast Club. I watched this indy film on Amazon Prime because of Nelson and much to my surprise I honestly think this in one of his all time best performances. He's not in it much but he brings such a strength and gravity to the role. No joke. Seriously watch him in this movie, it's incredibly impressive what he does with a mostly silent part (it's not a silent movie, the character is a deeply troubled man of few words). It'd be great to see his talents shine in more movies like this. Cast him!

I like weird stuff. Give me some Lynch, Noe or Jodorowsky and I'm a happy camper. This isn't quite as surreal (or as good) as those masters. It's a descent into drugs and meaningless sex. It's well made. Performances are terrific - Judd Nelson can proudly throw his fist in the air for this one! Better than Beastmaster.
